CONNECTING TO GAS
SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified service
person must connect heater to
gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect
heater directly to the propane/LP
supply. This heater requires an
external regulator (not supplied).
Install the external regulator be-
tween the heater and propane/LP
supply.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer,
see above)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
* An CSA/AGA design-certified equip-
ment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an
acceptable alternative to test gauge connec-
tion. Purchase the optional CSA/AGA de-
sign-certified equipment shutoff valve from
your dealer. See Accessories, page 24.
The installer must supply an external regu-
lator. The external regulator will reduce
incoming gas pressure. You must reduce
incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14
inches of water. If you do not reduce incom-
ing gas pressure, heater regulator damage
could occur. Install external regulator with
the vent pointing down as shown in Figure
14, page 12. Pointing the vent down protects
it from freezing rain or sleet.
9. Drill holes at marked locations using
3/16" drill bit.
10. Attach base assembly to fireplace floor
using two masonry screws (in hardware
package).
WARNING: This appliance re-
quires a 1/2" NPT (National Pipe
Thread) inlet connection to the
pressure regulator.
