Gas Line Installation
When purging gas line the fornt glass must 
be removed. Purging gas lines must com-
ply with ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA and 
CSA B149.1 in Canada.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right or 
left side of the appliance, as well as the bottom.  Knock-
outs are provided at convenient locations to allow for 
the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connec-
tion.  It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from 
the right side, as this allows fan installation or removal 
without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with properly 
tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 1/2" rigid pipe or an approved 
flex connector, then reduced to 3/8" (R Models) or 1/2" 
(E Models) to the appliance. Because some municipali-
ties have some additional local codes, it is always best 
to consult your local authority and the CSA-B149.1 
installation code. 
For US installations consult the current National Fuel 
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 .
Always check for gas leaks with a mild 
soap and water solution applied with a 
brush no larger than 1" (25mm). Never 
aply soap and water solution with a spray 
bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak 
testing.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected 
to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. 
Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas 
appliance control from the gas line when 
pressure testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type 
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro-
vide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved 
fittings.  Always provide a union so that gas line can 
be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing.  Re-
fer to gas specification for pressure details and ratings. 
NOTE: If flex connector is used, it must be kept inside 
of the appliance. (Fig. 5)
Remote Switch Installation 
1. Thread wire through the electrical knockout located 
on either side of unit.  Do not cut wire or insulation on 
metal edges.  Ensure that wire is protected. Run the 
other end to a conveniently located wall receptacle 
box.  
2. Attach wire to switch and install switch into receptacle 
box.  Attach cover plate to switch.
3. Connect wiring to gas valve. (Figs. 19 or 20, Page 
14)
Alternate Switch Location
Remote switch can be installed on either side of the ac-
cess door.  Simply mount the switch to the switch bracket 
provided.  Screw the bracket on either side of the frame, 
lining up the screws with the pre-punched holes. (Fig. 7)
