GAS LOG SET
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
IMPORTANT
Your Golden Blount Log Set is to be installed only in a
solid-fuel burning fireplace with a working flue constructed of noncombustible material. Solid fuels shall not
be burned in a fireplace where a decorative appliance is
installed. The minimum permanent vent openings provided by the fireplace chimney or chimney damper to vent
the flue products is listed on page 2. The chimney damper
must be fixed in a manner to maintain the minimum
permanent vent opening. This may be accomplished by
fastening a bolt in the edge of the damper to prevent
closing or a hole or holes may be provided in the damper.
The installation, including provisions for combustion and
ventilation air, must conform with the American Standard
National Fuel Gas Code Z223. 1-1988 and applicable
local building codes.
Massachusetts State Code requires
damper to be welded open or removed.
STARTING INSTALLATION OF LOG SET
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use this log set if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any
part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
The gas log set must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig. The gas log set and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system when testing at pressures in excess of 1/2
psig.
Keep the area of the gas log set clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
MAINTENANCE: Periodically remove the logs
and examine the burner assembly. If dirty, clean
with a soft brush. Also examine area around burner
air shutter, and pilot. Any dirt or lint in this area
should be removed. This will insure long life and
trouble-free operation. An annual inspection and
cleaning of the vent system by a qualified agency is
recommended.
The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for the
purpose of input adjustment is 5" W.C. for Natural
Gas and 11" W.C. for L.P. Gas. The maximum
inlet gas supply pressure for this burner is
14" W.C. for Natural and L.P. Gas.
A fireplace screen must be in place when the log set
is burning and unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an
opening(s) for introduction of combustion air.
WHEN GLASS FIREPLACE ENCLOSURES
(DOORS) ARE USED, OPERATE THE GAS
LOG SET WITH THE GLASS DOORS OPEN.
The minimum size fireplace in which the log set is to
be installed is listed in the Technical Data Table
below.
IMPORTANT: MINIMUM VENT OPENINGS IN
TABLE BELOW ARE MINIMUM STANDARDS.
FIREPLACE DAMPERS MUST BE FULLY
OPENED WHEN LOGS ARE IN OPERATION.
LOGS MUST BE INSTALLED IN FIREPLACES
CAPABLE OF BURNING WOOD FIRES.

TO INSTALL GAS LOG SET:
1. Attach damper clamp to fireplace damper to keep
damper open a minimum of 3".
2. Put grate in the center and to the rear of fireplace
floor.
3. Position burner under grate so that the burner pipe
is approximately 3" in back of the grate front legs.
Remove grate.
4. Attach aluminum connector to gas supply and
regulator. Note! Be careful not to crimp aluminum
tube when bending. Use soapy water to check
fittings for leaks.
5. Pour silica sand into burner pan completely covering the pipe burner in pan. Vermiculite to be used
with L.P. sets. Note! On L.P. models be careful not
to pour vermiculite over brass air mixer attached to
burner pan. Air mixer holes must not be obstructed!

6. Spread the black cinders in the front and sides of
the ember bed material to form a picture frame
effect to enhance the overall appearance. Note!
On L.P. models be careful not to pour black cinders
over brass air mixer attached to burner pan. Air
mixer holes must not be obstructed!
7. Evenly spread glowing ember material over the
burner pan and replace grate.
8. Place logs on grate
A. The longest log is the bottom front log.
B. Next longest log is the bottom back log to
be positioned 3" behind the front log.
C. The positioning of top logs is a matter of
the installer’s choice.
Note! Illustration shows 1-piece front log.
Some GB models have 2-piece front logs
or separate log arrangement instructions.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE L.P. GAS MODELS
MODERATE SOOT ACCUMULATION IS CONSIDERED NORMAL FOR
L.P. GAS LOGS. TO KEEP THIS SOOT ACCUMULATION TO A MINIMUM, REDUCE THE FLAME IMPINGEMENT BY SPACING FRONT AND
BACK LOGS AS FAR APART AS POSSIBLE, AND BY SPACING ALL
TOP LOGS AS FAR APART AS POSSIBLE.

PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
The pilot burner is pre-set at the factory and should
normally not require any adjustment. However,
should adjustment be necessary, the following steps
should be taken:
With the pilot burner lit and the control knob in the
pilot position, carefully remove the cap screw located on the control valve.

DAMPER CLAMP INSTRUCTIONS
The Damper Clamp should not be used unless it will
provide the permanent vent opening listed on the
table found on page 2.
The Damper Clamp with set screw is provided as
a means to prevent full closure of the damper blade.
The Clamp is easily attached to most damper
blades with pliers or wrench, and must be permanently installed. The Clamp is designed to prevent
accidental closure of the damper when installed as
illustrated.
Using a long narrow screwdriver, turn the pilot
adjustment screw (located under the cap screw)
slowly clockwise to reduce the flame, or counterclockwise to increase the flame. The adjustment
screw can be turned so that the pilot flame is
completely extinguished. Some tightening of the
adjustment screw may occur during adjustment.
This is normal. The pilot flame should be a soft blue
flame with yellow tipping which encircles the thermocouple tip.
Reassemble the cap screw and gasket to the valve
body, insuring that the cap screw and gasket are
firmly seated on the valve body. Turn the control
knob to the “on” position to assure proper ignition
of the log set.
Should the Clamp not fit, have a permanent stop
installed, remove the damper blade or have the
damper cut to provide the minimum permanent
opening required.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. The Golden Blount Gas Log Set has a pilot
which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the
pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the gas
log set area for gas. Be sure to smell next to floor
because some gas is heavier than air and will settle
on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
* Do not try to light any appliance.
* Do not touch any electrical switch, do not use any
phone in your building.
* Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
* If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas
control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not
push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it. Call a
qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in fire or explosion.
D. Do not use the gas log set if any part has been
underwater. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the gas log set and to replace
any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
