other noncombustible face finish material desired
when setting the depth of the framing.
4. Attach the fireplace nailing flanges to the frame as
shown in Figure 4.
5. The gas components are located in the control
panel assembly attached to the right side of the
unit. Choose the desired location on the wall or
mantel for the valve box assembly. The conduit
length is 5' (1524mm). (Fig. 6) The framing dimen-
sions for the box are 12¹⁄₄"L x 9¹⁄₄"W x 5⁵⁄₈"D
(311mm x 235mm x 143mm). When the framing for
the box is complete, remove the screws securing
the valve box to the outer casing. Carefully remove
the valve box and, without stressing the conduit,
slide the box into the framed opening. Replace the
screws removed from the side of the outer casing.

6. To secure the valve box assembly to the framing
members, open the box door, remove extension
knob(s), remove the valve cover by removing the
two (2) screws securing the valve cover to the box,
hold the cover plate with one hand and disconnect
the wires to the switch and pilot indicator (R models
only). NOTE: Do not allow the valve cover plate to
hang from the pilot indicator wires as this could
damage the wires. Secure the box to the framing
through the two (2) holes at the top and one (1) on
each side using sheet rock screws. (Fig. 7) After
framing the box, replace the wires, the valve cover,
the extension knob(s) in reverse order. NOTE: The
pilot indicator body is labelled +/-, make sure the
positive wire on the pilot indicator goes to ground
and the negative goes to the plug between the
valve and the thermocouple.
7. The U-channel located on the top of the unit as well
as the nailing flanges on the sides that were men-
tioned in Step 1, are designed to accommodate
noncombustible board (recommended Dura-Rock).
They are positioned 1" (25mm) back from the face
of the unit. NOTE: The U-channel depth can be
adjusted by loosening the hex nut inside the chan-
nel.
