Gas Line Requirements

MAKE SURE YOU ARE SUPPLYING AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF GAS (NG OR LP)
This fireplace, depending upon configuration, consumes a large amount of BTUs. Make sure
your gas line is properly sized to provide an adequate supply of gas.
MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATIONS - WARNING:
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED PLUMBER OR GAS FITTER WHEN INSTALLED WITHIN THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
OTHER MASSACHUSETTS CODE REQUIREMENTS:

Flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.

Shutoff valve must be a "T" handle gas cock.

Only direct vent sealed combustion products are approved for bedrooms or bathrooms.

Fireplace dampers must be removed or welded in the open position prior to the installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.

A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the same room as the appliance.

The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and
the requirements listed below.

The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPA). For pressures under
1/2 psig (3.5 kPA), isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.

Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.

The fireplace has an internal shutoff valve. An additional shutoff valve is required. It must be
accessible and within 6' of the fireplace.

Fuel


This fireplace is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both).

Gas Line Connection


Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts a
licensed plumber/gasfitter).

Gas Inlet Pressure


If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is adequately
adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.

The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should
supply gas at the input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper
pressure.

Directions for Connecting a Gas Pressure Test Gauge

The gas control valve (shown to the left) has two accessible ports for testing line pressure and output
pressure. Loosen the brass screw on either test port and place a 5/16" i.d. rubber or plastic tubing over
the tapered test port. Connect the tubing to the test gauge.
WARNING: The brass screw must be tightened after testing to prevent gas leakage.
