CHECK GAS TYPE
You must install this ON/OFF Safety Valve/
Pilot Kit if your gas type is propane/LP. For
additional convenience and safety, this ON/
OFF Safety Valve/Pilot Kit can be used with
natural gas. This pilot kit can only be installed
on the right side (facing) of the gas log set. If
you are unsure of the proper application, call
dealer where you bought log set.
If the fireplace does not have a gas supply
shutoff valve, one must be installed.
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLy
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 1/2" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) inlet connection to
the pressure regulator.
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must connect log
set to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect
propane/LP appliance directly
to the propane/LP supply. This
appliance requires an external
regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between
the appliance and propane/LP
supply.

valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA design-certified equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP units, the installer must supply
an external regulator. The external regulator
will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must
reduce incoming gas pressure to between
11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce
incoming gas pressure, appliance regulator
damage could occur. Install external regula-
tor with the vent pointing down as shown in
Figure 2. Pointing the vent down protects it
from freezing rain or sleet.

(non-utility) gas wells. This
gas is commonly known as
wellhead gas.
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to log set. If
pipe is too small, undue loss of
volume will occur.
