GAS LINE CONNECTION
Gas line connection can be made near the lower rear of the appliance (3/8” gas hookup). You must supply
a shutoff valve installed in a visible location within three feet (3’) of the stove.
CAUTION
In some areas, gas line pressure may be more than 1/2 psig (14” wc). If you believe that this might
be the case in your locality, contact your gas supplier or local utility company. Line pressure
greater than 1/2 psig will damage the appliance valve. You must install a regulator upstream from the
appliance if line pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
PRESSURE TESTING
During any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that exceeds test pressures of 1/2 PSIG, this
appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the piping system. If test pressure is
less than or equal to 1/2 PSIG, then this appliance must be isolated from the piping system by closing its
individual shutoff valve. The gas valve is supplied with pressure test ports for checking input and output
pressures. These are located just next to the on/off knob and can be found inside the hinged lower access
grill. The port on the left is for output pressure and the port on the right for input. Pressure can be checked
by turning the captured screw counterclockwise two or three turns and then placing the manometer tubing
over the test port. BE SURE TO CLOSE CAPTURED SCREWS AFTER TESTING BY TURNING
THEM CLOCKWISE. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS.
NOTE: To make ame and heat output adjustments, turn the HI-LO knob located on the center of the valve
(as seen below). Turn clockwise for a higher ame and counterclockwise for a lower ame.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
The following procedures show some of the basic installation applications. Remember that
every installation is different, and the installer should adjust to insure that the appliance is
installed properly.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Before hooking up the stove to the gas supply, be sure that the appliance you are installing is
designed for the type of gas being supplied to it. There is a serial number and listing label on the
rear of the appliance that will indicate which type of gas it is designed to utilize. The gas valve
also has a label telling the type of fuel for which it is set up.
There is a 3/8” gas hookup located under the stove body, with access from the rear through
the pedestal cutout. We recommend connecting the stove with an approved ex gas line, as
shown below. If ex gas lines are not approved in your area, you can connect a hard pipe
to the gas hookup.

Grand Bay 40 Gas Freestanding
Page 20 January 2000 January 2000
This unit is equipped with a thermal damper, which has been set at the factory. Do not remove or
attempt to adjust.
The vent must terminate vertically with an approved cap, and the vent termination must be located where
it cannot become restricted or blocked by foreign material (for example, snow and leaves). The vent
termination must be above the roof and not below any eaves or overhangs.
ANSI 223.1, Section 7.6.2 requires a minimum vent height above the roof of 1 foot. On installations with
roof pitch greater than 6/12, there must be at least 3 feet of chimney above the roof level, or 2 feet higher
than any point within 10 feet measured horizontally.
Use all required venting components when installing this appliance, and do not mix two or more
manufacturers’ products.
EXAMPLES:
1. When the vent passes through the ceiling or upper oor, use of a ceiling support or restop is required.
2. Venting through a wall requires a wall thimble.
3. When vent passes through the roof a proper ashing, storm collar and vent cap are required.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL VENTING REQUIREMENTS
The GB40 FS must be installed to follow the CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada) or ANSI Z223.1 (in the U.S.A.)
requirements, and any local codes or regulations of the authority having jurisdiction.
WARNING: This appliance must be installed in an area with an adequate amount of combustion and
ventilation air for it to vent and operate properly. Be sure that provisions for adequate air are made
at the time of installation.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to either 4” diameter type B vent or double thickness aluminum ex liner,
running the full length of an existing masonry chimney. A minimum ue height of 12 feet is recommended.
If B vent pipe is used, it must be supported by vent supports supplied by the vent manufacturer.
This appliance has a draft hood installed at the factory, so no external draft hood is required.
B-VENT CHIMNEY REQUIRES A 1” MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES.
When venting vertically on exterior of structure, use an insulated venting system or properly built chase
structure to help insulate the vent system. This is recommended due to the low ue temperatures of this
appliance. This also helps prevent the possibility of spillage and draft problems occurring.
VENTING: TERMINATIONS
NOTE: The installer must take into
consideration other factors when
determining vent termination height, such
as negative pressure in the home, horizontal
sections and offsets in ue system.
