Floor Protection
¥ The heater must be installed on a non-combustible hearth extending a minimum 12" (305 mm) from
the fireplace opening (local codes may require a larger hearth). Minimum width is 32" (813 mm).
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 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 (3.45 kPA). For pressures under
1/2 psig (3.45 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 heater.
Gas Line Connection
¥ The location of the gas inlet is shown below
¥ A manual shutoff valve is required on the gas line within 3' (914 mm) of the heater

The gas inlet on the gas control valve is
located 3" (76 mm) behind the fireplace
opening and 7" (178 mm) to the left of the
center of the appliance.
With the optional gas inlet pipe,
the inlet is located 3" (76 mm)
behind the fireplace opening

6" (150 mm) Gas Inlet Pipe (shipped
with the insert in the accessory pack)
Shutoff Valve
Apply thread sealant to
both ends of the pipe prior
to installation.
Fuel
¥ This heater is designed for natural gas but can be converted to propane. Check the sticker on the top
of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.
Gas Inlet Pressure
¥ With the heater 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.
Standard Input Pressure
Natural Gas 7" W.C. (1.74 kPA)
Propane 11" W.C. (2.73 kPA)
