Fireplace/Firebox
No Restriction 14"
0" to 3" 16"
Greater than 3" *
*Any barrier greater than 3" placed in front of the gas log set is not
recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTE: Non-combustible material such as refractory brick
may be used to line the oor of the replace in order to raise
the height of the gas log set in relation to a restrictive barrier.
If the unit is raised, the minimum height dimension listed
in the homeowner’s manual must be met or exceeded.
NOTE: If the log set is equipped with a remote receiver, a
restrictive barrier may reduce the battery life by increasing
the ambient temperature inside the replace. Placement of
the receiver outside of the replace will extend the battery
life. (MV models only)

WARNING
WARNING
Gloves are recommended when handling
logs to prevent skin irritation from loose
bers. Logs are fragile—handle with care.
Barriers such as the bottom of a glass door frame
placed in front of a gas log set can change the air
ow characteristics of the replace which in turn
can cause the unit to overheat and malfunction when
installed as a vented log set.
WARNING
X
Glass door frames with adjustable louvers
should have the louvers fully open while
the unit is in operation
Depth of re-
place/rebox

F. Adequate Combustion Ventilation Air
This heater shall not be installed in a conned space or
unusually tight construction unless provisions are provided
for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
The National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54),
denes a conned space as a space whose volume is less
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m3 per kw)
of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in
that space, and an unconned space as a space whose
volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per
hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all
appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicat-
ing directly with the space in which the appliances are
installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are
considered a part of a conned space.
Unusually tight construction is dened as construction
where:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere
have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of
1 perm (6 x 1011 kg per pa/sec-m2) or less with openings
gasketed or sealed, and
b. Weather stripping has been added to windows and
doors, and
c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints
around window and door frames, between sole plates
and oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall
panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas
lines and other openings.
The following formula can be used to determine the maxi-
mum heater rating per the denition of unconned space:
Refer to Figure 2.3.
BTU/Hr = (L1+ L2) Ft x (W) Ft x (H) Ft
50
Consider two connecting rooms with an open area
between, with the following dimensions:
L1 = 151/2 Ft., L2 = 12 Ft., W = 12 Ft., H = 8 Ft.
BTU/Hr = (151/2 + 12) x (12) x (8)
50
If there were a door between the two rooms the calculation
would be based only on the room with the heater.
BTU/Hr = (151/2) x (12) x (8)
50

D. Assembly Procedure
1. Attach the two brackets shipped with the engine
assembly to the engine base on the right and left hand
side using the two sheet metal screws shipped with the
brackets.
2. Center the burner assembly inside the fireplace or
firebox. Make certain that the front of the burner
assembly sits inside the front edge of the replace or
the rebox.
3. Anchor holes are located on the right and left sides of the
brackets attached to the engine base. After centering
the burner assembly correctly, mark the holes on the
replace or rebox oor. Drill two (2) 5/32” diameter holes
approximately 1 ¼” deep. Anchor the two anchoring
screws shipped with the unit using ¼” hex head chuck
and secure the burner assembly to the replace through
the holes drilled earlier.
You must secure the gas log heater to the replace
oor. If not, the entire unit may move when you
adjust the controls. Movement of unit may cause
shifting of the gas logs which leads to sooting and
improper burning. Grate movement could cause a
gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit
into a sunken replace. You must raise the replace
oor to allow access to gas log controls. This will
ensure adequate air ow and guard against sooting.
Raise the fireplace floor using noncombustible
materials, as described in Placement in a Fireplace
with Restrictive Barrier on Page 6.

4 Gas Information
A. Gas Line Connection
NOTICE: A qualied gas appliance installer must connect
the heater to the gas supply. Consult all local codes.
IMPORTANT: Hold heater valve rmly with a wrench to
prevent movement when connecting to inlet pipe.
Always use an external regulator for all propane/LPG
heaters and high pressure one to two-pound systems
only, to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum of
13" w.c. This is in addition to the internal regulator in the
heater valve.
The heater gas inlet connection is a 3/8" NPT at the valve.
On all control type units, the inlet connection is on the right
side of unit. To connect from the opposite side, route the
pipe around the back portion of the unit.
When tightening up the joint to the valve, hold the valve
securely to prevent movement.
Test all gas joints from the gas meter to the heater valve for
leaks using a gas analyzer or soap and water solution after
completing connection. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
Check the gas pressure with the appliance burning and
the control set to HIGH.
Use new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned
copper or copper tubing can be used per National
Fuel Code, section 2.6.3, providing gas meets
hydrogen sulde limits, and where permitted by local
codes. Gas piping system must be sized to provide
minimum inlet pressure (Listed on Data Plate) at the
maximum ow rate (BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss
will occur if the pipe is too small.
A manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream
of the appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT
pressure tapping point should be installed upstream
of the appliance.
WARNING
Connecting directly to an unregulated propane/
LPG tank can cause an explosion.
WARNING
CHECK GAS TYPE: The gas supply must be the
same as stated on the heater’s rating plate. If the
gas supply is different, DO NOT INSTALL THE
HEATER. Contact your dealer for the correct model.
