1. The point of entry of the gas line to the gas valve is on the left side of the unit. The gas line may be
passed through the left side of the unit, or alternatively through the bottom of the unit. Although gas
line access is available on the right side and bottom of the unit, bringing the line in on this side will
cause interference if the optional fan were to be later serviced or installed. An AGA & CGA approved
shutoff valve can be installed if so desired.
2. Purge the gas line of air.
3. Test the gas line for leaks using an electronic gas leak detector or soapy solution.

wiring & solder all unavoidable splices.
1. Mount the thermostat or wall switch in the desired location and run
heater's lower right hand corner, close to the gas supply line. Purchase the two conductor thermostat wire,
which is not provided, at any local supplier. The gauge of thermostat wire will determine the maximum
wire length and distance at which to locate the thermostat or wall switch. See Table 3.1 below and the
information packaged with thermostat. Be aware that as the length of wire increases, the probability of
adequate operating voltage decreases.
2. While the fireplace is being installed and the gas line is connected, solder a female spade connector to each
wire and connect them to the male connectors provided on the rear of the burner switch.
3. Check tests can be performed on the valve by using the trouble-shooting guide.
To install a remote control, please read instructions included with kit.
