6 Gas Information
Note: Gas line MUST be run from right side of replace.
WARNING
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
• Check all ttings and connections.
• Do not use open ame.
• After the gas line installation is complete,
all connections must be tightened and
checked for leaks with a commercially
available, non-corrosive leak check
solution. Be sure to rinse off all leak check
solution following testing.
Fittings and connections may have loosened
during shipping and handling.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
High pressure will damage valve.
• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
above 60 mbar.
• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
equal to or less than 60 mbar.
A. Gas Pressure Requirements
Pressure requirements for Outdoor Lifestyles gas replaces
are shown in Table 1 below.
Two taps are provided on the outlet side of the gas control
for a test gauge connection to measure the inlet and outlet
pressures. These inlet and outlet pressure taps can be ac-
cessed through the internal valve access panels as shown
in Section 11: Maintaining and Servicing the Fireplace.
The replace and its individual shut-off valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess
of 60 mbar.
If the replace must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing an individual shut-off valve, it must be of
the handle-less type.
B. Gas Connection
Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes by a qualified installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality.

Incoming gas line should be piped into the valve compart-
ment and connected to the ISO 7-Rp 1/2 (BSP Rp 1/2)
threaded gas inlet connection on the manual shutoff valve.
Note: Before the rst ring of the replace, the gas
supply line should be purged of any trapped air.
Note: Consult local building regulations to properly
size the gas supply line leading to the (Rp 1/2 in.)
hook-up at the unit.

WARNING
D. Frequently Asked Questions
C. After the Fireplace is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the replace, you may notice that it produces
heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you
feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to
four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn
up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubri-
cants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation of
the glass is normal
Issue Solutions
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the replace warms, this condensation will
disappear.
Blue ames This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the replace is allowed to burn for 20 to
40 minutes.
Odor from replace When rst operated, this replace may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is caused by the curing of
the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Film on the glass This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of
initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas
replace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Metallic noise Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced
by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the replace.
