3.0 INSTALLATION

The appliance and gas logs function as a system. If the appliance is not drafting properly and spilling into the
room (check with a match or a smoke stick), reposition the damper clamp until a positive draft is obtained
by opening the damper. If negative pressure in home prevents having a positive draft, consult an air quality
specialist.

3.1 GAS PIPING

DO NOT CONNECT EITHER THE WALL SWITCH, THERMOSTAT OR GAS VALVE TO ELECTRICITY

This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual shut off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than ½ psi
(3.5 kPa)

!

WARNING

(110 VOLTS).

A. Centre the appliance in the fi replace opening, making

sure the appliance has enough room behind it for the
gas line to run behind the log set under the log support.

B. Route the gas line and sizing using piping ½” diameter

or greater to allow the full volume of gas to the
appliance. The routing of the gas line has to be done to
local and / or national codes.

C. When rigid pipe is used an ANSI approved manual shut

off and a union must be installed upstream within the
appliance cavity.

D. To ensure the appliance operates reliably install a

sediment trap upstream of the appliance within the
structures of the piping system.

E. When using propane, a regulator must be used between

the tank and the outside wall of the house to ensure the line pressure does not exceed 14” w.c.

F. Check gas connections with a gas detection device to test for leaks in the system. Soapy water

mixture can also be used to check for leaks.

G. Once all the gas connections are tested for leaks, start the appliance. Follow the lighting instructions

to ensure the appliance is working properly before fi nishing.
