Specications for LP-Gas Cylinders, or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/CSA-B339, as applicable,

2) provided with a listed overlling prevention device, and

3) provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for the appliance.

4) If LP is hard plumbed to the replace, the propane storage tank must have a pressure regulator

Note

If a propane hose is used to connect a propane cylinder to the replace, the following is required:

Inspect the hose before each use of the replace.

The hose assembly must be replaced prior to the replace being put into operation if there is evidence

SPECIFICATIONS AND DIMENSIONS

WHEN ENCLOSING YOUR FIREPLACE THE USE OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE BUILDING

MATERIALS IS REQUIRED. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING.

COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

Materials that can catch re and burn are considered combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with;
wood, wood pulp, paper, plastic or any other material that can catch re and burn is considered combustible.
Even though these materials may have been ‘ame-proofed’, made ‘re-resistant’ or are ‘re-rated’ they are
considered combustible. Standard and Type X drywall are both combustible.

NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

A material is non-combustible when it cannot catch re and burn. For example, materials made of stone, brick,
concrete, tile, steel, plaster or glass are non-combustible.

Since this replace may be installed only outdoors, it is important to select materials that are suited for outdoor
conditions.
