The normal gas connection is 1/2" NPT, made at the left

the connecting pipe must be led at the rear of the fire-

place to terminate at the left hand side for connection to
the fireplace.
Piping should be tested for leaks prior to final wall
installation. Test for leaks using soap and water solution
after completing the connection. DO NOT USE OPEN
FLAME.
Step 6: Optional Procedure For Cold Climate Instal-
lations
The insulation and sealing of the enclosure around the
fireplace is very important in cold climates. If the en-
closure is insulated and sealed properly, you can avoid
future cold air problems. The time taken to install the
firebox correctly is well worthwhile. The following steps
are to stop potential cold air problems.
Insulation of the Fireplace Enclosure
When in a chase or an outside wall, the fireplace en-
closure should be insulated like any other wall of your
home. Insulation should be installed on the outside
wall(s) and the wall above the fireplace.
Insulate to Seal Under the Fireplace
Insulating under the fireplace is beneficial for installa-
tions on a concrete slab. The fireplace should be placed
on insulating board. It is important that a hard, rigid
surface be maintained, so do not use fiberglass insula-
tion for this purpose.
CAUTION: WHEN INSTALLING A FIREPLACE IN AN
INSULATED ENCLOSURE, BE SURE TO MAINTAIN
ALL MARKED AIR SPACES.
Seal Seams
Seal the seams of the fireplace where the outer wall
meets the bottom pan and the front face. Also seal
between the fireplace and finishing materials. Use high
temperature caulk. Refer to Figure 7 for details of seal-
ing spaces between the fireplace and finishing materi-
als. Note the small amount of insulation installed across
the top of the fireplace and down the sides as a backing
for the caulk.
