Installation
1.  Carefully unwrap the remote wire that is attached to 
the valve. There are two 1/2” (13 mm) knockouts, 
one on each side of the outer casing. 
2.  Remove the knockout desired and insert the plastic 
snap bushing on the remote wire in the 1/2” hole. 
Feed the remote wire through the outer casing.
3.  Attach the wire to an ON/OFF switch (not supplied) 
and install the switch into the receptacle box. (Fig. 8)
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch 
for the gas fireplace to the 120  volt power 
supply.
Remote ON/OFF Switch
Always check for gas leaks with a mild 
soap and water solution. Do not use an 
open flame for leak testing.

Gas Line Installation
When purging the gas lines, the front win-
dow frame assembly must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear 
of the appliance as well as the bottom. Knockouts are 
provided on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the 
gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. 
It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the 
rear right side of the valve 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, 3/8” rigid pipe or an ap-
proved flex connector. Since some municipalities have 
additional local codes, it is always best to consult your 
local authority and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or the CSA-B149.1 installa-
tion code.
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 when using black iron 
pipe so the gas line can be easily disconnected for 
burner or fan servicing. See gas specification for pres-
sure details and ratings.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test 
pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this 
and any other gas appliance control from the gas line 
when pressure testing.
