Appliance Preparation
Existing Fireplace Preparation
Gas Line Routing
Plan the routing of the gas line before proceeding.
Utilize the existing hole for the gas line of the factory-
built fireplace.
If the fireplace has no access hole, carefully drill an
access hole of 1.5 inch (38 mm) or less through the
lower sides or bottom of the firebox. The access hole
must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after
the gas supply line has been installed.
See
Dimensions
section for detailed location of gas
inlet. Also, take into consideration whether or not a fan
or shut-off valve will interfere when planning routing of
the gas line.
Existing Glass Doors and Wire Screens
Existing glass doors must be permanently removed
prior to installing the 785IL insert.
Combustible Mantels
Combustible mantel clearances must conform to those
required for the original solid-fuel fireplace into which
the 785IL is being installed.
Attach Warning Conversion Plate to Existing
Fireplace
(plate supplied loose with 785IL
heater)
Attach the “This fireplace has been converted...”
label to the existing fireplace using screws or other
mechanical means and store any removed parts in
back of the existing fireplace for future use.
