Step 1. FRAMING

Frame these appliances as illustrated in Figures 11 or 12. All framing details must allow for a

minimum clearance to combustible framing members as shown in Table 5 on Page 8.

If the appliance is to be elevated above ﬂoor level, a solid continuous platform must be constructed below the appliance.

Headers may be in direct contact with the appliance top spacers but must not be supported by them or notched to ﬁt around them. All construction above the appliance must be self-supporting, DO NOT use the appliance for structural support.

Side Nailing Flanges

The ﬁreplace should be secured to the framing at the side(s) of the appliance using the factory-provided nailing ﬂanges. Install the 8 nailing ﬂanges as shown in Figure 10 using the existing screws. Position the ﬁreplace within the framing. When required, the tabs may be bent 90 degrees by hand or with the assistance of a hammer. Use wood screws to secure the nailing ﬂanges to the framing. See Table 5 on Page 8 for clearances of framing members to cabinet parts. The nailing ﬂange itself can directly contact framing.

Floor Nailing Tabs - Secure the ﬁreplace to the ﬂoor as shown in Figure 10.

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a gas line along the inside of the right side framing as shown in Figure 13. Gas lines must be routed, constructed and made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and regulations.

Figure 13 - ROUTE GAS LINE

Proper Sizing of Gas Line

Properly size and route the gas supply line from the supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be installed per requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 - latest edition (USA) or CAN/CSA-B149.1

- latest edition (Canada).

Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to Table 6 for proper sizing of the gas supply line, if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines must be routed, constructed and made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and regulations. We recommend that a qualiﬁed individual such as a plumber or gas ﬁtter be hired to correctly size and route the gas supply line to the appliance. Installing a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the appliance involves numerous considerations of materials, protection, sizing, locations, controls, pressure, sediment, and more. Certainly no one unfamiliar and unqualiﬁed should attempt sizing or installing gas piping.

Notes:

• All appliances are factory-equipped with a

ﬂexible gas line connector and 1/2 inch shutoff valve (see Figure 47 on Page 28).

• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page 4for additional requirements for installations

in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.

• The gas supply line should Not be connected

to the appliance until Step 6 (Page 28).

• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be

used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane resistant compounds are used in propane applications. Be very careful that the pipe

compound does not get inside the pipe.

• It is recommended to install a sediment trap

in the supply line as close as possible to the appliance (see Figure 47). Appliances using Propane should have a sediment trap at the base of the tank.

• Check with local building ofcial for local code

requirements (i.e. are below grade penetrations of the gas line allowed?, etc).

IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100-lbs, if this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling. Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure, resulting in insufﬁcient fuel delivery (which can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting from an improper installation, such as this, is not covered under the limited warranty.
