as room traffic, locaiion of doors
anri windows, and constr~lctionabove and below the installation
arra. The fireplace may be installed in any location that is freeof
air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plurnhing. This
location must
alsn allow for the necessary clearances.
LOCATION
Comers should be cuiijiderrrl
where space is linrited or at a
premium. A corner-installed fireplacecan make rtir of space tililt
may tiot norlnally be used (see Figure 5).

2x6 framing to achieve adequate clearance from the
chimney to combustibles.
STEP 2: Install the provided nailing flanges to the fireplace (as
shown in Figure

Do not secure yet.
STEP 3: Slide ihe metal safety slrips/shields provided 1-112"

protect thefireplace'smetalbottomfromcoldair by followingorle
of the following procedures:
1) Setthefireplaceona 1/4" orlarger j>lywoodnssliownin Figure

a final caution, carefully caulk rhe finis11trim around the front of
the fireplace between the trim and tlie fireplace to prevent the

INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
I?vIPORTAST: Install the gas line before finishing the fire
place.
If desired,a decorativegas appliancemay be installed. Use
only ironpipe,
112" size,and appropriate fittings. When installing
the gas line, a valve designed for installation oiitside the fireplace
is required as shown in Figure
32.
Tlie gas line may be installed to enter the fireplace from either
side; see Figure
6 for "knock-out" locations. The unit is shipped
frurn tlic factory ready for installation on the right-hand side. To
iristall in the riglit-liarid side, proceed asfollows: First, removethe
coverfrom the outsideof the fireplace casin~with a 5/16socket
wrrnch and remove conduit sleeve. Take insulation material out
ofthe gas line cunrlilit and savefor reuse, i.ocate the mark on the
side panel of the insidz wall of the firzbox. It is approximately i-
112" frotr~tlic bott~~mofthe fireplace. Using a lizht punch, knock
the plug throl~ghthe inside of the fircbox. Reinsen the conduit
slcc\.c.
If a left-hand installation is desired, knock out the plug in the
fireplace case on the left-hand side. Proceed as for a right-hand
installation; however, rriakr sure to move the conduit from the
rtplit-hand side to the left-hand side. Then replace the cover on
the right-hand side.
Run thc gas line just illside tlit enfranc?hole of i11e fireplace.
Install a 7" minilnllm niplilt lo rmuh inside thc fircp1i1i.e. Rcpack
the insulation to the cor~d~~itslccvr around the nipple. Finish the
installation by either capping thr
gas line or atinclring a gas log
Thr gas line is intended for connection to n decorative fils
nppliarrce that incorporates nrr automatic sllutoff device and
con~plieswit11 the Standard for Drcorative Gas Appliances for
installation
in Vented Fireplnczs, WSI 221.60. The Decorative
