A 3/8 in. flared fitting has been installed on the gas valve inlet at the factory. Ensure fittings are of the appropriate size and type on the gas line connection. If the tubing has to be cut to length be sure to use the proper cutting and flaring tool. Also, be careful not to crimp the tubing while bending. If the tubing becomes crimped, do not use for installation.

Gas resistant pipe compound must be used on all threaded male connections to ensure a tight seal.

F. Gas Pressure

Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made following NFPA51.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Explosion Risk

High pressure will damage valve.

Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures above 1/2 psig.

Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

WARNING

Fire Risk

Explosion Risk

Verify inlet pressures.

High pressure may cause overfire condition.

Low pressure may cause explosion.

Install regulator upstream of valve if line pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.

Gas Supply Pressure: Minimum inlet gas supply pressure must be 7.0 in. W.C. for natural gas or 11 in. W.C. for LP gas for the purpose of input adjustment. Maximum inlet gas pressure must not exceed 10.5 in. W.C. for natural gas or 13 in. W.C. for LP gas. The gas line supplying the appliance must be sufficient size to furnish the appropriate supply pressure to the appliance while operating in the

“High” setting.

Pressure tap screws must be closed before turning gas on to the appliance.

Gas Line Pressure Test: Perform pressure test according to state and local code (if pressure exceeds 1/2 in. psi (3.5 kPa)) before appliance is connected. Be sure to release air pressure from the gas line before connection is made to the appliance. Excessive pressure will damage the gas control and may cause a gas leak.

Gas Leak Test: Make sure the gas connections are tight. Turn on the gas and coat each joint with a non-corrosive gas leak check solution. Air bubbles will form indicating any leaks. DO NOT USE A FLAME OR ANY TYPE OF

IGNITION SOURCE TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. All leaks must be corrected before proceeding with installation.

The appliance must only be installed in a solid-fuel burning fireplace with the flue damper clamped open according to Tables 1 and 2. The fireplace must be constructed of non-combustible material.

The minimum permanent free opening (in square inches) that must be provided by the fireplace chimney or damper to vent the flue gases is provided in Tables 1 and 2. If the free opening is smaller than the specified area, do not use this appliance.

The damper must be removed or fixed in a manner in which will secure it open. Some jurisdictions require the damper to be removed or permanently welded fully open. Check with state and local codes.

Be sure that the chimney is completely unobstructed to ensure proper ventilation of flue gases including carbon monoxide (CO). CO (a poisonous gas) is tasteless, odorless, colorless and undetectable without proper equipment.

Refer to Table 3 to determine minimum fireplace opening requirements before proceeding.

Hearth & Home Technologies • Grand Oak Gas Log Sets • 4004-299 Rev H • 05/08

L. Inspect the Venting System

The fireplace venting system is designed and constructed to develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the outside atmosphere. See fireplace installation instructions.

A spillage test must be made before the installed appliance is left with the consumer.

Close all doors and windows in the home.

Light the log set (see Lighting Instructions).

After three minutes, test with a smoke match, smoke candle, stick incense or cigarette 1 in. below the top of the opening (lintel) moving across the full width. If spillage (smoke down into the room) occurs, it will most likely be near the top, outside corners.

Possible cures if spilling occurs:

The damper needs to be opened further.

The fireplace opening needs to be reduced by adding a drop panel across the top under the lintel.

The air supply from outdoors needs to be increased. Open the outside air kit if the appliance is so equipped, or crack open a door or window.

If necessary, seek expert advice. Do not operate this appliance.

Cleaning

Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system of the fireplace should be done before initial use and at least annually by a qualified agency.

M.Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions

Always remember:
