8-
Using an adjustable wrench, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach a 1/2" Female Flare X 3/8" Male Flare Brass
Reducer Fitting ( not included ), to the gas stub.
9-
Using two adjustable wrenches, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach one end of the gas line, to the brass reducer
fitting that you have just installed on the gas stub. ( One
wrench on the brass gas line fitting, and one wrench on the
brass reducer fitting )
10- Using two adjustable wrenches, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach the other end of the gas line to the brass
fitting on the valve/regulator assembly. ( One wrench on the
gas line fitting, and one wrench on the brass fitting on the rear
of the regulator for LP units, and on the valve for NG units )
BE CAREFUL! Make sure all gas connections are snug, but DO
NOT over tighten!
11- It is our recommendation that, at this point of the
installation, lighting the pilot, and test ignition should
take place, before attempting to set up the logs.
See "UNITS WITH REMOTE SYSTEMS" section, on page 11,
and "LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS" on page 15.
12- CHECK FOR LEAKS! Apply soapy water to each connection
and watch for bubbles. If bubbles are seen, turn off the gas
supply; retighten the connections, and CHECK AGAIN! DO
NOT use a lighted match to check for leaks. Repeat this
procedure until you are sure that there are no leaks in the gas
connections.
13- When you are assured that there are no gas leaks present,
you may proceed to " FINAL SET UP " on page 12.
FOR UNITS WITH REMOTE SYSTEMS
All Firegear burner systems are capable of operation with a latching
solenoid, remote control system. See the instructions, packaged with
the remote system that you have purchased, for detailed installation
and operational characteristics. The following instructions are a
general guide for installation only.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
All Firegear Vent-Free Burner Systems use:
1-
The American Flame, AF-1100 Series Valves ( AF-1110 shown
here with remote solenoid shown separately in diagram ). All
systems use only an ODS safety pilot, with a thermocouple.
( SEE FIGURE 13 & 14 )

NOTE: The FG-AF1000S Latching Solenoid is necessary for operation
with any of the above remote systems, except FG-LMF/SM1 or 2.
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO THE VALVE
NOTE: For extended, remote applications, extension wire ( not
included ) will be necessary for your distance run.

Using a Jeweler's Phillips screwdriver, install the stripped ends of
1-
connecting wire, into the screw terminal block, on the rear of the
remote receiver.

2-
Connect the BLACK 18 gauge wire, with the 1/4" female terminal,
from the receiver, to the BLACK wire with the 1/4" male terminal,
from the valve solenoid.
3-
Connect the RED 18 gauge wire, with the 1/4" female terminal,
from the receiver, to the RED wire with the 1/4" male terminal,
from the valve solenoid.
4-
After receiver wires are connected to the valve solenoid wires,
make sure the receiver shield is located over the receiver, and
then locate the receiver in an area that will not exceed the 130° F,
preferably outside the firebox, on the fireplace hearth.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Operation of these controls is dependent upon
which wire is attached to which terminal. If operation does not
correspond to operating buttons on the transmitter, reverse the wire
installation at the receiver, or at the transmitter. ( SEE FIGURE 16, 17,
19, & 20 )
NOTE: Up to 6.3 VDC of power is provided at the receiver terminal.
