Figure 5 –Checking Gas Joints 

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa) 

1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see 

Figure 5). 

2.  Pressurize supply piping system by 

either using compressed air or opening 
main gas valve located on or near gas 
meter. 

3.  Check all joints from gas meter to 

equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 
5). Apply mixture of liquid soap and 
water to gas joints. Bubbles forming 
show a leak. 

4. 

Correct all leaks immediately.

 

 

ADDING PAN MATERIAL 

1. Open the bag of ash bed material 

(vermiculite) and spread it evenly 
across the burner pan to the top. You 
may over-flow the front and sides of the 
pan to cover the entire pan and 
connecting hardware. Do not cover 
control system valve. 

2. Open the glowing embers and evenly 

cover the ash bed material (vermiculite) 
in the burner pan.

 

Pressure Testing Gas Supply 
Piping System 

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG 
(3.5 kPa) 

1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance 

main gas valve (control valve) and 
equipment shutoff valve from gas supply 
piping system. Pressures in excess of 
1/2psig will damage heater regulator. 

2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where 

equipment shutoff valve was connected. 

3. Pressurize supply piping system by either 

using compressed air or opening main 
gas valve located on or near gas meter. 

4. Check all joints of gas supply piping 

system. Apply mixture of liquid soap and 
water to gas joints. Bubbles forming show 
a leak. 

5. Correct all leaks immediately. 
6.Reconnect log set and equipment shutoff 

valve to gas supply. Check reconnected 
fittings for leaks. 

TESTING BURNER FOR LEAKS 

1.  Generously apply soapy solution to 

all connections. 

 
 
 
 

2.  Light the burner with the shutoff 

valve, no more than half open, and 
holding a match slightly in front of the 
pan (see Lighting Instructions, page 6).

3. Inspect all connections for bubbles, 

raw gas odor, or flame from any area 
other than the burner (leaks). If leaks 
are detected, shut off the gas valve 
immediately. Tighten, or reassemble 
the loose connection(s) using pipe joint 
compound until burner system is leak 
free. 

4. When the burner is tested and leak 

free, observe the individual tongues of 
flame on the burner. 

Note

: The burner 

design includes more ports on the 
outside of the bar. Make sure that all 
ports are clear and producing flame 
evenly across the burner. If any ports 
appear blocked, clear them by 
removing the burner manifold and 
reaming the ports with a modified 
paper clip or other suitable tool. 

5. When finished testing, turn the gas 

shutoff valve OFF to extinguish all 
flames. 

INSTALLATION 

Continued 

Installation and Gas Connection 

1. Place the burner pan assembly in 

the center of the fireplace floor. Make 
sure the front of pan faces forward. 

2. Thread the gas supply fitting to the 

fireplace gas supply pipe. Use thread 
sealant.

 

3. Install adapter fitting onto the burner 

inlet fitting using thread sealant on 
male threads of burner inlet fitting 
(see Figure 8). 

4. Install the gas connector tube to the 

gas supply fitting. Carefully shape 
tube to attach to adapter fitting. 

 

WARNING:

 

Never check 

for gas leaks with open flame.

AND INSTALLATION

 

Kit Assembly 

Note:

 

The following instructions 

apply to dual flame "U" style 
burners. Be sure all pipe threaded 
connections are tight, and have 
thread compound to prevent leaks. 
1. Determine which side the gas line 
will be coming into the fireplace.

 

2. Using a hammer and screw driver, 

remove knock-out plug from the side 
of the pan that corresponds to the 
gas line (see Figure 6). 

3. Unscrew burner inlet fitting from 

burner manifold (see Figure 7). 

4. Place burner manifold in pan with 

threaded opening facing open 
knock-out plug. 

5. Using thread sealant (resistant to the 

action of natural gas) on larger end of 
fitting, screw the burner inlet fitting 
through hole and into burner manifold. 
Tighten using a wrench. 

6. Using burner clamp, screw, and nut 

provided, assemble clamp to pan. 
This will hold the burner manifold in 
place. 

7. If using optional control system kit, 

follow instructions included with kit for 
installation and operation.
