include pregnant women, people with heart
or lung disease or anemia, those under the
inuence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural & LP Gas: Natural & LP gas are
odorless. An odor-making agent is added
to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas
leak. However, the odor added to the gas
can fade. Gas may be present even though
no odor exists.

CHECK GAS TYPE
Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/
LP) for your unit. If your gas supply is not
correct, do not instal in replace. Call dealer
where you bought the appliance for proper
type of appliance.
WARNING: This appliance is
equipped for either natural gas
or propane/LP gas but not both.
Gas type is indicated on the rating plate. Field conversion is not
permitted.
FLUE OPENING SPECIFICATIONS
Note: This vented appliance must be installed
only in a solid-fuel burning replace with a
working ue and constructed of noncombustible material. The replace chimney must have
a permanent vent opening to outside of not
less than 29 square inches or as determined
from manufacturer's installation instructions.

VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
The replace chimney ue and vent must
be drafting properly. To check the vent for
proper drafting: Light a tightly rolled newspaper on one end and place it at the inside front
edge of the replace. Observe the smoke and
be sure the vent is properly drawing it up the
chimney. If the smoke spills out into the room,
extinguish the ame and remove any obstruc-
tion until proper venting is achieved.
The chimney ue damper must be xed open
to provide a minimum of 29 square inch ue
opeining at all times during operation of the
log set. A damper clamp can be used to
secure the damper (see Accessories, page
18). See the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 6.6 for details about
minimum ue size.

PLACEMENT OF APPLIANCE
Center the appliance in the replace. Make
certain the grate front feet sit inside the front
edge of the replace and that there is adequate clearance around the appliance for
access and operation.
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualied service
person must connect heater to
gas supply. Follow all local codes.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below.
• external regulator (propane/LP models
only)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve
• test gauge connection
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
www.Astria.US.com
126891-01A6
INSTALLATION
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
Continued
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 inches of water column.
If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,
heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Figure 3. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
WARNING: Connecting
directly to an unregulated propane/LP tank may cause an
explosion.
The appliance gas inlet connection is 3/8"
NPT at the regulator, located at the rear of
the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Hold appliance regulator with a
wrench to prevent movement when connect-
ing to inlet piping.
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in
an accessible location. The equipment shutoff
valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to
the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged heater valves.
WARNING: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
Install a sediment trap (not supplied with log
set) where it is within reach for cleaning. Install
in piping system between fuel supply and
heater. Locate sediment trap where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap
captures moisture and contaminants. This
keeps them from going into heater controls.
If sediment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, heater may not run properly.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Internally-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 heater. If
pipe is too small, undue loss of
volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up.
NPT tap must be upstream from log set (see
Figure 4).

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping
and connections for leaks after
installing or servicing. Correct
all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an
open ame to check for a leak.
Apply a noncorrosive leak detec-
tion uid to all joints. Bubbles
forming show a leak. Correct all
leaks at once.
PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY
PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance
main gas valve (control valve) and equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping
system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa) will damage heater regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve
for propane/LP gas or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter for
natural gas or using compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorrosive leak detection
uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff
valve to gas supply. Check reconnected
ttings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 5).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve
for propane/LP gas or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter for
natural gas or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equipment shutoff valve for natural gas or
propane/LP supply to equipment shutoff
valve for propane/LP (see Figure 6 or 7).
Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
