Gas Information
A. Fuel
Before making gas connections ensure appliance being in-
stalled is compatible with the available gas type.
B. Gas Pressure
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance
performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made
following NFPA51.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Verify inlet pressures.

condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
• Verify minimum pressures when other
household gas appliances are operating.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line
pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in table be-
low. Minimum pressures must be met when other household
gas appliances are operating.

C. Gas Connection
Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI
223.1. Installation should be done by a qualified installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be
performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.)
Note: A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts
approved) 1/2 in. (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve
and flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 in.
(13 mm) control valve inlet.

If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
• Incoming gas line should be piped to the 1/2 in.

WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
• Gas build-up during line purge may
ignite.
• Purge should be performed by qualified
technician.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Ensure there are no ignition sources such
as sparks or open flames.
• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines.
When first lighting appliance it will take a short time
for air to purge from lines. Subsequent lighting of the
log set will not require such purging. Never allow
the ON/OFF valve to remain in the open position
without placing a burning match on top of the
burner FIRST.
• Units are assembled and configured from the
factory for LP gas with a natural gas orfice

WARNING
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
• Check all fittings and connections.
• Do not use open flame.
• After the gas line installation is complete,
all connections must be tightened and
checked for leaks with a commercially
available, non-corrosive leak check
solution. Be sure to rinse off all leak check
solution following testing.
Fittings and connections may have loosened
during shipping and handling.
