SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP GAS
Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause fires and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless. You may not know all the following safety precautions which can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point
bypointwiththemembersofyourhousehold.Somedaywhen theremaynotbeaminutetolose,everyone’ssafetywilldepend on knowing exactly what to do. If, afterreading the following information, you feel you still need more information, please contact your gas supplier.
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas. That’s your signal to go into immediate action!
•Donotoperateelectricswitches,lightmatches,useyourphone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
•Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do that IMMEDIATELY.
•Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
•LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep outofbasementsandotherlowareas.Stayoutuntilfirefighters declare them to be safe.
•Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas service person and the fire department. Even though you may not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
•Finally, let the service man and firefighters check for escaped gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then check and relight the gas appliance for you.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the odorof the chemical put into the gas.You must find out if you can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a gas odor can make it easier to smell.
TheodorantinLP-Gasiscolorless,anditcanfadeundersome circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the movement of the gas through soil can filter the odorant. Odorants
in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
Theodorantinescapedgascanadsorborabsorbontoorintowalls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be more odor at lower levels.Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you detectany odor, treatit as a serious leak.Immediately go into action as instructed earlier.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
•Learn to recognize the odor of LP-Gas. Your local LP-Gas Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use it to find out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas Dealer.
•Ifyouarenotqualified,donotlightpilotlights,performservice, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If you are qualified, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or making adjustments.
•Sometimesabasementoraclosed-uphousehasamustysmell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.
•Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of new cylinders and tanks, is possible.Therefore, people should be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or reinstalled old tanks, if they are filled and allowed to set too
long before refilling. Cylinders and tanks which have been out of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any question about the gas odor, call your LP-Gas dealer. A periodic sniff test of the LP-Gas is a good safety measure under any condition.
•If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you think you should, assume you have a leak.Then take the same immediate action recommended above for the occasion when you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
•Ifyouexperienceacomplete“gasout,”(thecontainerisunder no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air through openings such as pilot light orifices. If this occurs, some new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container before it goes completely empty or having it refilled before it is completely empty.

Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. The gas lines must be checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if unexposed, a pressure test should be made.
Neveruse an exposed flame to check forleaks.Appliance must be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!
NOTE: The millivolt gas controls are equipped with a captured screwtypepressuretestpoint,thereforeitisnotnecessarytoprovide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
Ondirectignitionvalves,hexplugsmaybereplacedwithhosefittings for pressure checks, then reinstalled before operating fireplace.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings.
Theapplianceandit’sindividualshutoffvalvemustbedisconnected fromsupplypipingsystemduringanypressuretestingofthatsystem at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14" w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the fireplace gas valve, it will result in a hazardous condition.
Checking Manifold Pressures
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold pressure of approximately 3.5" w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5" w.c. (1.120kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of 14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold pressure approximately 10.0" w.c. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8" w.c. (2.68kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum
of 14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa).

VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP
To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 19)
1.Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, locate the point it intersects with the slanted graph line.
2.From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.
3.Select the indicated dimension, and position the unit in accordance with same.
EXAMPLEA:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 35 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 6.5 feet.
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 6.5 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 14.5 feet.
Special Note: For each 45 degree elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18" (45cm).This does not apply if the 45 degree elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system. Reduce 3' for every 90° elbow.
Example:According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.
The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per sidewallinstallationistwo(2).Theseelbowscanbeinstalled in either the vertical or horizontal run.
Note: On vertical venting the first elbow does not get counted.
