9. Using pipe dope connect the 3” Nipple to the Street Elbow attached to the valve assembly and to the 3/8” Female
Elbow. Then connect the 3/8” Female Elbow, which is connected to the entire valve assembly, to the Burner Orifice
using pipe dope. (See Figure 7.)

10. The valve assembly could be rotated to better conceal the controls. Simply rotate the entire valve assembly by

turning the top 3/8” Street Elbow with a wrench (See Figure 8.)

11. Connect pilot and thermocouple to pilot bracket using the screws and nuts provided. Be sure that the pilot and the

thermocouple is just hanging over the burner pan. (See Figure 9.)

NOTE: Carefully bend the pilot tubing when attaching the pilot burner to the burner pan. Care should be
taken not to kink the tubing which would restrict the gas flow to the pilot burner.

Installation to Existing Gas Line in Fireplace

A manual on/off valve should be present within easy reach of the gas log set. If a manual valve is not present, one must
be installed prior to the gas log installation.

1/2” gas supply line must be provided to the fireplace. Most installations require drilling and access hole through the

A
masonry wall. The supply line should be secured and sealed by mortar within the access hole. The supply line should
also have an on/off valve in the wall or inside the fireplace. (See Figure 10.)

This appliance is only to be installed and burned in a fully vented fireplace with a fully functional damper and chimney

Burner System Location

1. The Burner system should be located towards the back and centered in the combustion chamber of the

vented fireplace. The burner system should be centered from left to right, with about an inch of space on
either side.

Connecting Gas Supply to Burner Pan

1. Place burner system in proper location.

2. Attach brass 3/8” to 1/2” gas inlet fitting to the 1/2” gas supply stub.

3. Carefully bend the flared tubing as needed to make the connection between the burner assembly and the

gas inlet fitting. Next attach the flared tubing to the burner assembly first, then to the gas inlet fitting.

Avoid kinking the flared tubing while bending. If tubing must be cut, use a tube cutter. Flare the cut end of

the tube with a flaring tube.
