Tools Needed
2 Adjustable Wrench (at least one of which has a range of 3/4”
for gas fittings)
2 Adjustable Pipe Wrenches
1 3/8” Nut Driver or Socket (for damper clamp)
Installation
1. Remove all contents from the burner shipping container (Box
One).
2. Check the contents of the shipping container against the ship-
ping and packing list or the parts list in this manual. Report
any missing or damaged parts to your retailer.
3. Remove any and all protective wrapping from the appliance.
4. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM.
5. Place the fireplace damper in the fully open position and
install the damper clamp over the lip of the damper
(the
damper must be in a fully open position any time that
this appliance is in operation)
. Using a 3/8” nut driver
or socket and turning in a clockwise direction, tighten the
damper clamp bolt until the clamp is secure. The damper
clamp must be in place to maintain the minimum perma-
nent vent opening. See the chart “Minimum Fireplace Di-
mensions” on page 6 for correct venting.
Notice: The State of Massachusetts requires that the chim-
ney flue damper, when used with decorative gas log sets, be
welded open or completely removed.
6. Using two adjustable pipe wrenches (one wrench on the gas
stub, and one wrench on the fitting), remove the existing cap
or gas jet assembly from the gas stub in the fireplace by turn-
ing the wrench on the gas cap in a counterclockwise direction.
7. Clean the pipe threads on the gas stub using either a wire
brush or steel wool. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the
steel fittings before making any connection.
Notice: All gas connections (except for brass to brass) require
Teflon tape or pipe dope.

1. Place the Metro burner pan into the fireplace (unit is pack-
aged as a match-throw single burner assembly. The valve,
pilot and gas train must be assembled.).The unit should be
centered from both side to side, and front to back. Deter-
mine the best inlet to burner (left or right). Connect brass or
fire holder to the inlet side of the burner. Install the pipe cap
(provided) to the other side of the burner. Apply Teflon tape
or pipe dope to prevent leaks. The unit is shipped, ready for
side gas connection only. See Figures 2a and 2b.
2. Bend a 3/8” gas line with two 3/8” brass female flare fittings
(included on some models) to facilitate the gas connection
between the burner and the gas stub.
CAUTION:
Gas lines are easily kinked if bent too sharply.
3. Using an adjustable wrench, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach a 1/2” female flare x 3/8” male flare brass
reducer fitting (included on some models) to the gas stub.

directions, attach one end of the gas line to the brass re-
ducer fitting installed in the previous step (one wrench on the
brass gas line fitting, and one wrench on the brass reducer
fitting).
5. Using two adjustable wrenches, and turning in a clockwise
direction, attach the other end of the gas line to the brass
fitting on the burner (one wrench on the gas line fitting, and
one wrench on the brass fitting on the burner).

CHECK FOR LEAKS!
Apply soapy water to each connection
and watch for bubbles. If bubbles are seen, turn off the gas
supply, retighten the connections and

for leaks. Repeat this procedure until you are sure that there
are no leaks. Proceed to “FINAL SET UP on page 13.
