Use proper gas type for the insert you are installing. If you have conicting gas type, do not
install insert. See dealer where you purchased the insert for proper insert according to your
gas type.
Make sure you have the items listed below before installing appliance.
• External regulator (supplied by installer) • Piping (check local codes) • Test gauge connection*
• Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas) • Sediment trap (optional but recommended)
• Tee joint • Pipe wrench
• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes — not provided)
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test
gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will
reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of wa-
ter. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external
regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 11. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing
rain or sleet.

A listed manual shutoff is factory installed upstream of appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8"
NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of the appliance. Figure 12
The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the insert.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for
locating equipment shutoff valve to inserts.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe
could result in clogged burner system valves.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in
supply line as shown in Figure 12. Locate sediment trap/drip
leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner
system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment
trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into the burner system
gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may
not run properly.
NOTE : The gas line connection may be made using 1/2" rigid tubing or an approved
ex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best
to consult your local authorities and the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI.Z223.1, NFPA54. In Canada CSA-B149 (1 or 2) Installation Code.

2. To ease installation, a 24" (610 mm) ex line with manual
shut-off valve has been provided with on this appliance.
Install and attach 1/2" gas line onto shut-off valve.
3. After completing gas line connection, purge air from
gas line and test all gas joints from the gas meter to
the replace for leaks. Use a solution of 50/50 water
and soap solution or a gas sniffer.
4. To check gas pressures at valve, turn captured screw
counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing
to pressure gauge over test point. Turn unit to high.
Figure 13. After taking pressure reading, be sure and
turn captured screw clockwise rmly to reseal. Do not
over torque. Check test points for gas leaks.
