INSTALLATION
LOCATING YOUR
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more that two walls.
OUTDOOR
1)
When selecting a location for your fi replace, ensure that the clearances are met.
2)
This appliance must be installed in an open-air situation with natural ventilation, without
stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind
and natural convection.
3)
Certain materials or items, when placed under or near the appliance, will be subjected to radiant
heat and could become damaged.
4)
Typically an outdoor space is not enclosed but, any enclosure in which the appliance is used
shall comply with one of the following:
An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one permanent opening at ground level and
no overhead cover.
GAS FIREPLACE
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and more than two walls, the following
shall apply:
• At least 25% of the total wall area is completely open, and
• At least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and unrestricted
30% or more in total of the remaining wall
area is open and unrestricted.

2. Connect the Burner Assembly
to gas supply using supplied
flex connector and shutoff
valve.
3. Evenly fill the media
compartment with burner
media (broken tempered
glass) fully covering the
burner as shown on a picture.
If you are NOT planning to
add optional topping media,
then fill the media
compartment in full and
proceed to the step 5.
NOTE: If you are planning to
add some topping media
(optional colored glass or
lava rock), leave approximately ¾” not filled on top
of burner media and proceed
to the next step.
4. Place and evenly distribute
topping media (optional
colored glass or lava rock) on
top of burner media as shown
on a picture.
Make sure that pilot opening
is not blocked with excess of
media.
5. Carefully leak test all
connections following the
procedure on page 5.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the replace you are installing. If you have conicting gas type, do not install replace. See dealer where
you purchased the replace for proper replace for your gas type or conversion kit.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE / BURNER SYSTEM LOCATION
WARNING
A qualified installer or service person must
connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
CAUTION
For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This
burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator
between the burner system and propane/LP supply.
INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED
Before installing replace and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below.
• External regulator (supplied by installer) • Piping (check local codes) • Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• Equipment shutoff valve* • Test gauge connection* • Sediment trap (recommended)
• Tee joint • Pipe wrench
• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes — not provided)
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve with
1
/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection.
Purchase the CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, 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 13 inches of water. If you do not reduce
incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as
shown in Figure
1. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION
Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally
tinned copper or copper tubing can be used per
National Fuel Code, section 2.6.3, providing gas
meets hydrogen sulfide limits, and where permitted
by local codes. Gas piping system must be sized
to provide minimum inlet pressure (listed on data
plate) at the maximum flow rate (BTU/hr). Undue
pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small.
When using copper or ex connectors use only ttings approved
for gas connections. The gas control inlet is 3/8" NPT.
