Figure 4.2 Proper Positioning, Leveling and Securing of a Fireplace
Pressure requirements for Heat & Glo gas fi replaces are
shown in Table 5.1 below.
Two taps are provided on the outlet side of the gas control
for a test gauge connection to measure the inlet and outlet
pressures. These inlet and outlet pressure taps can be accessed through the internal valve access panels as shown
in Section 10: Maintaining and Servicing the Fireplace.
The fi replace and its individual shut-off valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess
of 60 mbar.
If the fi replace must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing an individual shut-off valve, it must be of
the handle-less type.
WARNING
