The appliance and it’s individual shutoff valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply

piping system during any pressure testing of

that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2

psig (3.5 kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its individual

manual shutoff valve during any pressure

testing of the gas supply piping system at

test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig

(3.5 kPa).

For the purpose of input adjustment two

pressure taps (for IN and OUT pressures)

are provided on the gas control valve for test

gauge connections to the appliance.

SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efcient

location for your appliance, you must take into

consideration the following guidelines:

1. The location must allow for proper clear-

ances (see clearance information on

page 10).

2. Consider a location where heat output

would not be affected by drafts, air con-

ditioning ducts, windows or doors.

3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists

or roof rafters will make installation easier.

Figure 1 shows a plan view of a few com-

mon locations.

Flush installations are recommended where

living space is limited or at a premium and

since the space required to enclose the ap-

pliance would be located beyond an outside

wall, this would also reduce the cutting of

joists, roof rafters and such. Check local

codes for any restrictions.

distance into the room. A projection may

be ideal for a new addition on an existing,

nished wall.

Corner installations make use of space

that may not normally be used and provides

a wider and more efcient range for radiant

heat transference.

SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efcient

location for the replace, you must take into

consideration the following guidelines:

1. The location must allow for proper

clearances (see Figures 6 and 7).

2. Consider a location where replace will

not be affected by drafts, air conditioning

ducts, windows or doors.

3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or

roof rafters will make installation easier.

4. An outside air kit is available with this

replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit,

page 11).

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO

COMBUSTIBLES

Back and sides of replace 1 1/2" min.*

Front of replace 48" min.

Floor** 0" min.

Perpendicular wall to opening 12" min.

Top spacers 0" min.

Mantel clearances

FRAMING

1. Frame opening for replace using dimen-

sions shown in Figures 6 and 7.

2. If replace is to be installed directly on

carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any

combustible material other than wood

ooring, replace must be installed upon

a metal or wood panel extending full width

and depth of replace.

3. Set replace directly in front of this open-

ing and slide unit back until nailing anges

touch side framing.

4. Check level of the replace and shim with

sheet metal if necessary.

5. Before securing fireplace to prepared

framing, ember protector (provided) must

be placed between hearth extension (not

supplied) and under bottom front edge

of replace to protect against glowing

embers falling through. If replace is to

be installed on a raised platform, a Z-type

ember protector (not supplied) must be
