Burner Installation
1. Remove access cover from
the valve control center at the
inside right hand side of the
rebox (Figure 2).
NOTE: The burner shield may
need to be loosened and re-
tightned after positioning if the
panel does not slip in behind it.
A porcelain panel set must be used
in conjunction with the installation
of the burner assembly.
NOTE:
If converting to propane, refer to
the propane conversion section
on page 13 before continuing.

9. Install burner by tilting burner tube through the tray. Ensure that the orice has entered the tube
(Figure 17 and Figure 18).
Set the air shutter to fully open for Propane or fully closed for Natural gas.

10.Install the center media spacer. Secure the spacer and burner with two long screws (Figure 19).
Four holes must line up to set each screw. Some pressure may need to be applied to the front
tray support on the shield to align the holes (Figure 20).

11.Apply just enough glass media to cover the burner assembly (Figure 21).
NOTE: Too much glass media over the burner will cause sooting with the use of propane gas.

WARNING
This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction.
If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or production
of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The
installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is
checked as specified in the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the kit.
If the unit is to be used on propane convert as follows using the components supplied with this
fireplace:
CAUTION
The gas supply and electrical power shall be shut off before proceeding with the conversion.
Propane Conversion
1. Ensure the burner, pilot and gas supply are turned off, and the appliance has cooled.
2. With a ½” wrench remove the natural gas orice (Figure 22) and replace with propane orice
(our part # 5022.92) (Figure 23).
Note: Factory supplied components must be used to ensure correct input. After conversion
confirm proper manifold pressure.

3. Fully open the primary air shutter.
4. Remove the pilot shield from the burner tray by removing two screws (Figure 24).
5. With a 7/16” wrench, loosen the pilot head on the pilot assembly (Figure 25)

6. Slide the pilot adjustment band over and ensure that the hole in the orice band is showing.
Figure 26 indicates that the pilot is in the Natural Gas position. Figure 27 indicates that the pilot
is in the Propane Gas position.

For complete valve conversion installation instructions, refer
to the instruction book included in the SIT conversion kit.
7. Remove the valve control center access panel (See “Figure 2” on page 2).
8. Fill in the date and the name of the person who performed the conversion in the white area on
the conversion label (Figure 28). Peel off the protective backing and apply the conversion label
directly onto the gas valve (Figure 29). Reinstall the valve control center access panel.

1. Remove the plug from the pressure test port. The plug is located between the right side lintel
and rebox side (Figure 30).
2. Thread the extension test tting into the open test port (Figure 31).
3. Attach a pressure gauge onto the tting
4. When testing is complete remove the extension piece and replace the pipe plug. Thread sealant
will be required to ensure a gas tight connection.
Note: To test the gas pressure, turn off the gas supply before removing the plug from the
supply pressure test port or manifold pressure test port. Verify gas pressures with the fireplace
lit and on the highest setting.
Correct gas pressure requirement:
Supply Pressure Natural Gas Propane
Minimum 5.0” wc 12.5” wc
Maximum 13.9” wc 13.9” wc
Manifold Pressure
Maximum 3.5” wc 10.0” wc
Minimum 1.6” wc 6.4” wc
(For purpose of input adjustment)

Burner Flame Adjustment
The air shutter on the burner tube controls the primary combustion air. It is set to the closed position at the factory for natural gas fuel. For
LP, some adjustment may be necessary to obtain desired ame and to eliminate carbon deposits. Evaluate ame appearance after the
replace has reached operating temperature. See Fig. #26 for proper ame pattern.
Open primary air if the window glass and rebox have carbon accumulation and/or the ames are long, dark and stringy. The shutter
may also be opened to lessen the ame height.
NOTE:
Proper air shutter setting is required.
The ame should be just orange and “lazy”. It should NEVER be set to create sooting on internal parts and window glass. Allow
the replace to run for 30 minutes before evaluating ame appearance. See Figure 32 for an example of what a desirea ame
pattern should look like.
