INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (PROPANE or NG). We
recommend that you install a sediment trap in a supply line. Locate sediment trap where it is within
reach for cleaning and not likely to freeze. Install in the piping system between fuel supply and
heater. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater
controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed incorrectly, heater may not run properly.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting into gas
piping and/or fittings. NG Models: 6 in. to 14 in. W.C. Gas supplier provides external regulator for
natural gas.
Installation Items Needed (Not Provided)
• 8'' Adjustable Wrench
• 8'' Pipe Wrench
• 1/2'' Flexible Gas Line (24'' Min.) or 1/2'' Black Pipe
• 90 Deg. 3/8 NPT x 1/2'' Flare Fitting or 3/8 NPT x 1/2 NPT
• Sealant (Resistant to Propane (LP) Gas)
• Shut Off Valve
• Allen Wrench
1) A variety of options are possible for routing the Gas Connection Lines depending on where your
Gas Supply line is located.
NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit concealed gas connections. Check your local building
code prior to using a Flexible Gas Line for this installation.
2) Identify the gas inlet on the Heater that corresponds to the fuel type for your installation. Remove
the threaded plug by turning counterclockwise.
Install a 90 degree fitting - not included). Be sure to use a gas resistant sealant on the 3/8 NPT fitting.
Position the fitting so the inlet line can be attached without binding.
3) Install the Gas Line to the 90 Deg. fitting and attach to the Shut Off Valve.
4) Check all connections for gas leaks.
5) Install receiver and plastic Heat shield by attaching the (2) wires from the receiver to the (2) wires
from the Gas Control Valve insuring you match the wire colors. Place the receiver on the fireplace floor
adjacent and slightly behind the Gas Valve control knob with the sensor eye facing toward the room.
