Whenplanningareplaceinsertinstallation,it’snecessaryto
determine:
• Gas supply piping (left side entrance).
• Electrical connections - for optional light kit
• Electrical supply requirements for optional light.
(120V, 60Hz, 1 Amp) (right side entrance)
• Properopeningsizeofreplacerequiredforinstallationof
thereplaceinsert.
Inplanningtheinstallationforthereplace,determinewhere
the unit is to be installed and whether optional accessories are
desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned at this time.
Thereplacecanbemountedonanyofthesesurfaces:
1. Aathardcombustibleornon-combustiblesurface.
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible
material.
3. Fourcornersofthereplacesocontactismadeonallfour
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
Ifthereplaceisinstalleddirectlyoncarpeting,tileorother
combustiblematerialotherthanwoodooring,itshouldbe
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the unit.
This unit is designed to be installed in a zero-clearance

Television Considerations
Installing a television above an appliance has become increas-
ingly popular; however, the area above any appliance gets hot and
most TV manufacturers recommend against placing their products
near a heat source.
If you install a television above this appliance, Empire Comfort
Systemsacceptsnoresponsibilityfordamageorinjuries.Follow
the television manufacturer’s installation instructions, including
any recommendations regarding proximity to heat sources.
If you have a TV above your appliance, turn off the appliance and
let it cool completely before servicing or touching any buttons on
the TV.

Note:Neveruseplasticpipe.Checktoconrmwhetheryour
local codes allow copper tubing or galvanized.
Note: Sincesomemunicipalitieshaveadditionallocalcodes,itis
always best to consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
— ANSIZ21.24ApplianceConnectorsofCorrugatedMetalTubing
and Fittings.
— ANSI Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of
Other Than All-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority
having jurisdiction. The state of Massachusetts requires that a
exibleapplianceconnectorcannotexceedthreefeetinlength.
A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas
line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required
by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip leg be installed near
the gas inlet. See Figure 24. This should consist of a vertical
length of pipe tee connected into the gas line that is capped
on the bottom in which condensation and foreign particles may
collect.
Figure 24
Installing a New Main Gas Supply Knob (Check Local Code)
Each appliance should have its own manual gas supply knob.
A manual main gas supply knob should be located in the vicinity
of the unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not
adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or
relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
totheactionofliqueedpetroleumgases.Thegaslinesmustbe
checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap
solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if
unexposed, a pressure test should be made.
Never use an exposed ame to check for leaks. Appliance must
be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe
capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with
appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!
NOTE: The millivolt gas controls are equipped with a captured screw
type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a
1/8 inch test point up stream of the control.
Ondirectignitionvalves,hexplugsmaybereplacedwithhosettings
forpressurechecks,thenreinstalledbeforeoperatingreplace.
Whenusingcopperorexconnectoruseonlyapprovedttings.
The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected
from 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 shut off 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).
Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess
of1/2psig(14-inw.c.)(3.5kPa)onthereplacegasvalve,itwill
result in a hazardous condition.

35919-4-1015Page 16
GAS SUPPLY
Checking Manifold Pressures
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure
regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold
pressure of approximately 3.5-in w.c. (.871 kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5-in w.c.
(1.120 kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0-in w.c. (3.484 kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold
pressure approximately 10.0-in w.c. (2.49 kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8-in w.c.
(2.68 kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0-in w.c. (3.484 kPa).

Vent Runs
Inplanningtheinstallationforthereplace,itisnecessarytoinstall
certain components before the appliance is completely positioned
and installed. These include the direct vent system, gas piping for
the appliance and the electrical wiring. (If the fan option is used.)
The appliance can be mounted on any of the following surfaces:
1. Aat,hardcombustible(burnable)surface.
2. A raised wooden platform.
3. Four corner supports. (Example: Four concrete masonry blocks.)
These supports must be positioned so they contact all four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
