Tranquility Burner Installation
If converting to propane see conversion instructions on page 15 before proceeding with
Tranquility Burner Kit.
Figure 2: Removing oor shield.
1. Remove oor shield (2 screws) and discard the shield. Use screws to plug vacant holes.
2. Plug any other vacant holes in the bottom of the rebox with 1/2” screws, as they are not
required to attach this style of burner (Figure 3).
Figure 3: 4 holes in replace oor to be plugged.

3. The base panel (Figure 4) is not used with the Tranquility burner kit and is a left over item to be
discarded.
4. Remove the 10 screws securing the access cover for the valve control center (Figure 5).
5. Bend the larger exible gas supply line, the smaller exible pilot gas line along with the ignition
and sensor wires into shape (Figure 6) so that the right hand side cover will t over top of them
before the burner is placed into the rebox (Figure 8). This cover must be positioned into the
burner before the burner is placed into the rebox as there is no room to install the cover once
the burner is in the rebox.

6. Place side covers between the burner tray and its base (Figure 7 and Figure 8) before the burner
tray is inserted into the rebox. These will remain in the retracted position until later in the instal-
lation process.
7. Remove the two lower outside screws from the Air Channel as indicated in Figure 9. The lower
panel will be attached to the rear wall of the rebox using the two screws just removed.

10.Attach the main gas supply line and the pilot gas supply line to the bulk head ttings and tighten
(Figure 12). Ensure that there are no leaks.
11.Feed the ignition and sensor wires through the bulkhead plate and gasket to the rebox
(Figure 13).

stall the valve control center’s access cover (Figure 5 on page 4). The panels are now ready
to be installed.

14.Remove the two screws (Figure 15) which secure the panel retainer to the ceiling. Remove the
panel retainer and keep for reinstallation (Figure 16).
15.The right hand side panel has a cut out which will t over the side cover. The correct orientation
of the upper rear panel has the two insulation retaining clips on the rear of the panel at the top
(both Figure 17).

16.Remove tag and plastic tie from the ue damper before installing the upper rear panel.
17.Install the right side panel until it’s nearly up against the rebox wall (Figure 18). Leave enough
room between the panel and wall so that the upper rear panel can be slipped in behind the side
panel. Once upper rear panel is in place, the side panel can be pushed up to the side wall.
18.There are two panel tension tabs afxed to the rear rebox wall (Figure 15 and Figure 18). These
tabs apply a small amount of pressure to the upper rear panel as this panel does not t up
against the rear wall. If upper rear panel seems too loose once installed, remove panel, bend the
tabs forward and try again.

19.Install the upper rear panel (Figure 19). Place one end on top of the lower rear panel and slip the
side of the upper rear panel in behind the side panel. Hold the upper rear panel up against the
rear panel tension tabs while preparing to install the left hand side panel.
20.Install the left hand side panel (Figure 20). Check that both side panels are ush against the walls.
21.Reinsert the two screws previously removed from the panel retainer but do not tighten. Reinstall
the panel retainer and t slots to hook onto the two screws. Tighten screws (Figure 21).

22.Move the two side covers previously placed between the burner and its base, out to the side
panels. Line the screw holes in the side covers up with the screw holes in the burner tray base.
Use supplied self taping screws to secure the covers to the base (Figure 22).
23.Insert tapered plugs into raised burner ports to prevent sand from entering ports (Figure 23).
24.Place sand in tray. Use supplied brush to spread and level the sand to just below the top of
raised burner ports. Gently blow excess sand from around ports (Figure 24).

25.Remove tapered plugs from ports.
26.Remove pebble assembly from packaging by placing hand on top and tipping upside down. Note
that the rock in the lower right is hollow underneath and will t over top of the pilot assembly
(Figure 25).

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 speci-
fied in the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the kit.
CAUTION
The gas supply and electrical power shall be shut off before proceeding with the conversion.
Note: Factory supplied components must be used to ensure correct input. After conversion
confirm proper manifold pressure.
If the unit is to be used on propane convert as follows using the components supplied with
this burner:
Propane Conversion
1. Remove rock set and sand if present.
2. Remove right hand side panel if present.
3. Remove all 10 screws from the Valve control center panel (Figure 28).

6. Remove the 2 front and 1 rear screws holding the burner tray in place (Figure 31).
7. Gently lift up the burner tray from its supports while sliding it to the left to disengage the burner
tube from the orice. Lift the tray, turn it on its side and lay it on its edge to expose the orice and
the pilot assembly (Figure 32). Remove the pilot assembly bracket with its wires and pilot gas line
attached while the burner kit is on its side (See “Figure 36” on page 18).
8. Using a 1/2” wrench, undo the natural gas burner orice (Figure 32) and replace with the pro-
pane gas orice that comes with the conversion kit (Figure 33). Apply a small amount of pipe joint
compound to the threads of the propane burner orice to ensure a good seal, before screwing it
into the tting.

position.
13.On the gas conversion label (Figure 40) included in the conversion kit, ll in the date and the
name of the person who performed the conversion in the white area on the conversion label. Peel
off the protective backing and apply the conversion label directly onto the gas valve inside of the
gas valve control center (Figure 41).
14.Reattach the access cover, right hand enamel panel piece, burner tray, sand and rock set.

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
Min. Pressure 5.0" WC 12.5" WC
(For purpose of input adjustment)
Max. Pressure 13.9" WC 13.9" WC
Manifold Pressure
Maximum 3.5" WC 10" WC
Minimum 1.6" WC 6.4" WC
Gas Pressure Check
1. Remove the plug from the pressure test port. The plug is located between the right side lintel
and rebox side (Figure 42).
2. Thread the extension test tting into the open port (Figure 43).
3. Attach a pressure gauge onto the tting.
4. When testing is complete shut off the gas, remove the tting and replace the plug. Thread
sealant will be required to ensure a gas tight connection.
