    INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable location for your fireplace. The mini- mum clearances to combustible construction are listed below. In addition, access to the gas supply must be considered. The location of the fireplace will also affect the venting requirements and you must be certain the location will allow compliance with the venting requirements shown on page You must also insure that your installation provides adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and proper operation.

  • Page 7: Requirements For The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts

    INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The gas fireplace is shipped with a 3/8” tube OD (male) connection. The gas supply piping should have a separate gas shutoff valve and a 1/8” NPT plugged tapping upstream of the valve. The stove and its main control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
