Gas Line Installation

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 stove 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 stove.

We recommend you purge the gas line with the glass removed. This allows gas to be detected once
it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.

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

Fuel

This stove is designed either for natural gas or
for propane (but not for both). Check the
sticker on the top of the gas control valve to
make sure the correct fuel is used.

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
stove)

Gas Inlet Pressure

12-5/8"

4-5/8"

1-1/2"

With the stove off, the inlet pressure must meet the requirements listed in the table below

If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough 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 suggested input pressure listed below. Contact the local gas supplier if the
regulator is at an improper pressure.

Minimum Input Pressure

Natural Gas

7" W.C.

Propane

11" W.C.

Manifold Pressure

Gas pressure downstream of the valve may only be checked by removing the manifold pressure tap
with a 3/16" allen wrench (1/8" N.P.T. plug). If the manifold pressure does not match the pressure
listed in the table below, check the inlet gas pressure and correct the problem.

Manifold Pressure on HI

Natural Gas

3.5" W.C.

Propane

11" W.C.
