Gas Connection.
1. Verify that the gas type is correct for the fireplace
by looking at the rating plate that is attached to the
right side of the fireplace, adjacent to the control
battery pack. Note: The fireplace is shipped from
the factory equipped to burn the fuel listed on the
rating plate. Fuel conversion in the field is not al-
lowed.
2. The gas connection should now be made from the
gas supply line to the inlet regulator on the fire-
place. Use only a qualified gas installer to make
the connection.
3. The fireplace is shipped from the factory with a
plugged 3/8” NPT connection.
4. The gas supply piping should have a separate gas
shut-off valve and a 1/8” NPT plugged tapping
upstream of the valve. We recommend installing a
shut-off valve between the gas supply line where it
penetrates the wall / fireplace mounting plate and
the inlet to the regulator on the fireplace. This will
allow gas to be shut-off to the fireplace by simply
removing the fireplace surround to gain access to
the shut-off valve.
5. The fireplace and its inlet regulator and main burner valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
6. The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the gas shut-off valve dur-
ing any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
After the gas supply has been connected, use a commercial gas leak detector or apply a soapy water so-
lution to all the fittings to check for gas leaks. Never use a flame to test for leaks
