WARNING:
Only persons licensed to work with gas piping
may make the necessary gas connections to this
appliance.
Gas Line Connection:
• A ⅜” 45° flared fitting and flex connector are supplied with
the unit (see Figures 31 and 32). Consult the local authorities
for local codes or use the CAN/CGA B149 (1 or 2) installation
code in Canada. In the US, gas installations follow either local
codes or the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1.
• If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s)
provided, an access hole of 1.5 in (37.5mm) or less may be
drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a
proper workmanship like manner. This access hole must be
plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply
line has been installed.
•
A shut-off valve is not supplied with this unit, but one should
be installed.
• The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
½
psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
