Gas Line Requirements
MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATIONS - WA NING:
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED PLUMBER OR GAS FITTER WHEN INSTALLED WITHIN THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
OTHER MASSACHUSETTS CODE REQUIREMENTS:
• Flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
• Shutoff valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• Only direct vent sealed combustion products are approved for bedrooms or bathrooms.
• Fireplace dampers must be removed or welded in the open position prior to the installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.
• A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is required in the same room as the appliance.
• The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI
223.1 and the requirements listed below.
• A manual shutoff valve is required within 3’ of the heater. It should be placed upstream of the
flex line (if used) and may be installed behind the access door inside the heater. ).
• The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2
psig, isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
• Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.
• This heater is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on the top of the
gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used (see illustration on page 4).
• Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In Massachusetts
a licensed plumber/gasfitter).
Gas Line Location

Gas Inlet Pressure Standard Input Pressure
Natural Gas 7" W.C. (1.74 kPA)
Propane 13" W.C. (2.73 kPA)
• If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is
adequately adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
• The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should
supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at
an improper pressure.

14 Installation (for qualified installers only)

Vent Requirements
• The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and
never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each
direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
• Make sure the exhaust pipe on the heater connects to the exhaust portion of the cap. The
illustrations below show how the flex liners should be attached.
• The exhaust vent must reline the entire length of the chimney and terminate above the
chimney top
• Be careful not to crimp or rupture the liner when bending it into chimney offsets
• When installed, the vent must meet all of the vent manufacturer's requirements
• Make sure to order the following:
3” UL 441 Gas Liner for Exhaust and Air Inlet
6-5/8” to 3” & 3” Co-Linear Adapter & Flashing (Simpson Duravent Part # 923GK).

Altitude Considerations
• This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8, feet (2,4 M). In this testing we
have found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
• Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.
Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Vent estrictor
WA NING: Restrictor adjustment should only be done by a qualified installer.
Only those installations determined to be over-drafting require this adjustment. The best indication
of over-drafting is a hyper-active flame pattern (flames that move too quickly). If the air shutter is
constricted, the flames become short and yellow, yet still very active. Over-drafting may affect the
pilot, but this is not the best way to determine over-drafting. Over-drafting is most likely in tall
venting configurations (especially if using an “Exhaust Only Re-Line”). Do not over-restrict the vent
(this leads to ghosting or lifting flames - reduce restrictor setting).
Remove the face.
To Adjust the Restrictor:
To Access the Restrictor:
This restrictor is in position 1
(factory setting). This restrictor is in position 2.
Adjustment
Bracket
To adjust, lift up on the
adjustment plate and push it back
(use pliers if necessary).
WARNING: Use a glove to protect
your hand from burns.
Adjustment
Plate #2#3

Vent Location
• A vent restrictor is built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures
proper combustion for all vent configurations. Depending upon the vent configuration, you
may be required to adjust the restrictor position. The charts for acceptable vent configurations
detail the correct vent restrictor position.

Vent Connector emoval and Installation
• The vent connector is shipped attached to the insert, but may be removed to facilitate tight
installations. See the directions below for installation.
1. Route the flex vent through the chimney from above (leave an extra 3' at the top). Make sure
the flex is thoroughly stretched.
2. Remove the vent connector and attach it to the flex vent (see the instructions on the following
page). NOTE: be careful of the anti-seize on the connector – it will stain clothing, etc.
3. Pull on the flex vent until the vent connector is at the same height as the insert. Temporarily
attach the flex vent to the top of the chimney (leave extra slack).
4. Slide the insert into place, guiding the vent connector into the guides on top of the insert.
5. Attach the vent connector to the appliance (see the following page for details).
6. Remove any excess slack in the flex line and attach the vent termination.
