Gas Supply Line
1. Once the vent pass-through (or pass-through’s) are finished, the gas supply line should be installed. The
supply line should exit the wall that the fireplace will be installed on at the location specified on the in-
stallation template We suggest the installation of a shut-off valve in the supply line between the wall
and the connection to the fireplace. Your professional gas installer or local gas company will determine
the specific requirements for the gas supply line as the requirements may vary in different locations. In
every case, the installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
or the
Canadian Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.
Installing the Fireplace Mounting Plate on the Wall
1. The fireplace mounting plate is attached to the
wall structure using four 1/4” X 1 1/2” long lag
bolts and large diameter washers that are provided
with the fireplace. It is important to use the in-
cluded hardware as the full weight of the fireplace
is supported by the mounting plate.
2. Drill a 5/32” diameter pilot hole at each of the
mounting hole locations that you marked using the
template. The pilot holes should be the full depth
of the lag bolts. Be sure that there is solid wood at
each mounting location. If not, the wall should be
reconstructed to provide the needed support.
3. Before the mounting plate can be lagged to the
wall the two tabbed sections of the telescoping
vent pipe heat shields that you set aside earlier
must be attached to the mounting plate. Each heat
shield half is held in place with three sheet metal screws (provided). The inner shield half (smaller di-
ameter) is installed from the front of the mounting plate. Slide the inner heat shield half through the
vent pipe opening in the mounting plate. Align the
three tabs with the pilot holes in the mounting
plate (as shown in the adjacent illustration) and
install the three screws.
4. The outer vent pipe heat shield half (larger diame-
ter) is installed on the rear of the mounting plate.
Slip the outer shield half over the inner shield and
align and install the three screws. See the adjacent
illustration.
5. The fireplace mounting plate is now ready to be
lagged to the wall structure.
6. With a helper pick up and align the mounting plate
over the gas supply line and line up with the four
mounting lag bolt pilot holes. These holes are in
recessed bosses. Use either the 16” or 24” on cen-
ter holes depending on the construction of the
wall.
7. Using the lag bolts and washers provided with the
fireplace, install the top lag bolts (with washers)
first, followed by the lower ones. Use a 7/16” socket wrench to tighten the lag bolts.
