GAS CONNECTION
Check gas type. Use only the type of gas indicated on the valve rating plate. If the gas type listed on
the plate is not your type of gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper model.
Always use an external regulator for all LP heaters to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum
of 13" W.C. This is in addition to the regulator furnished with the heater.
WARNING:
CONNECTION DIRECTLY TO AN UNREGULATED LP TANK CAN
CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
The normal gas connection is 3/8" N.P.T. made at the left side (facing the front of the appliance) of
the appliance. If a right side connection is desired, the connecting pipe may be led under the rear of
the burner base to terminate at the right side for connection to the inlet of the valve.
NOTE: The connecting pipe must be internally tinned copper tubing for use with natural gas. Test
for leaks using a solution of soap and water after completing the connection. DO NOT USE OPEN
FLAME.
NOTE:
“If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5 inch
(37.5mm) diameter or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the fire box in a proper
workmanlike manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply
line has been installed.”
WARNING: Installation and repairs should be performed by a qualified service person. The appli-
ance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More fre-
quent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is im-
perative that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept
clean.
