Insert Placement (continued)

Insert must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can swing within 36" of the front of the
heater (e.g. drapes, doors)

The insert may be placed inside a masonry fireplace or listed zero-clearance (metal) fireplace

The insert must be installed in a level, undamaged fireplace (damage must be repaired prior to
installation)

The insert must maintain 10" clearance to sidewalls (measure to the upper top, 22-1/4" from center)

Non-combustible facing (e.g. brick, tile) must extend 8" minimum from the side and to the top of the
insert (measure to the upper top, 40-1/2" wide by 28-3/8" high)

Combustible mantles must be a minimum 17-1/2" above the top of the insert (measure to the upper
top, 37-7/8" above the hearth)

Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA 211, listed wall shields or other means
approved by local building or fire officials.

Floor Protection

The heater must be installed on a non-combustible hearth and may not extend over combustible
flooring

Gas Line Install

The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI Z223.1
and the requirements listed below.

The heater 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. For pressures under 1/2 psig,
isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.

The gas line must be properly purged to release all air in the gas line prior to starting the heater.

Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.

Gas Line Connection

The gas inlet accepts a 3/8" F.P.T. Fitting

The location of the gas inlet is shown below

A manual shutoff valve is required for installation (it must be located within 3' of the heater)

NOTE:
With the insert in
place, the gas line
center is located 4-
5/8" back from the
fireplace opening,
1-1/2" above the
hearth, and 10-
3/8" from the
center of the
insert.
