GAS LINE HOOK-UP
WARNING: Gas line hookup
should be done by your gas
supplier or a qualified service
person.
WARNING: Before you pro-
ceed, make sure your gas supply
is OFF.
A manual shutoff valve has been included in
the appliance's gas supply system. You may
consider installing an extra gas shutoff valve
outside appliance's enclosure (check with
local codes) where it can be accessed more
conveniently with a key through a wall as
shown in Figure 15.
In conformance with local codes, route a
1/2" NPT gas line to appliance through hole
in left side of firebox or sub-floor as shown
in Figure 16.
CAUTION: Do not kink flex-
ible gas line.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
NFPA 54 defines minimum space
requirements for the installation of
this fireplace.
This fireplace must be installed
in an unconfined space with a
minimum of 50 cubic feet per 1,000
BTUs of gas output. Therefore 36"
models require 2,650 cubic feet, 42"
models require 3,100 cubic feet.. If
the space you wish to install the
fireplace does not meet these re-
quirements NFPA 54 details several
actions that may be taken.

INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS recom-
mends that a black iron gas line be routed
from the gas source, through a sediment
trap (see Figure 17) and into appliance. Once
connected through appliance, a flexible gas
line may be used for ease of installation to
gas control valve (see Figure 18, page 14).
Before connecting black iron gas line to inside
of appliance a sediment trap must be included
outside appliance between gas line and gas
shutoff valve. It must extend down 3" beyond
center of pipe. Prepare incoming black iron
gas line with teflon tape or pipe joint com-
pound (Check with local building codes).
