All codes require a gas shutoff valve (gas cock)

and union to be installed in the supply line and in
the same room as the appliance. This allows for the
disconnection of the fireplace for servicing and
maintenance.  See Fig. 9.

The fireplace and gas control valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures lower than 1/2 psig,
isolate the gas supply by closing the manual shutoff
valve.

The gas supply line connection is made to the

left side of the valve. The gas supply line should be a
minimum 3/8" diameter, or the appropriate size to
provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve regard-
less of the input setting.

The use of flexible gas appliance connectors is

acceptable in many areas in the U.S. In Canada,
methods vary depending on local code. If local codes
permit, use flexible gas line for ease of installation
and service. For those locales where flexible gas
lines are not permitted, use the 3/8” iron fitting  to
make the connection at the left side of the Control
Valve. See Figures 9 and 10.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools

and sealing compounds (for propane units, be sure
to use compounds that are propane resistant).  Turn
on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy
water solution.  Never use an open flame to check
for leaks.

• Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.
• Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page

23 of this manual or on the fireplace’s rating
plate.

• Brush or spray all joints and connections with the

soapy water solution.

• If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a

gas odor is detected, immediately turn gas
control knob to the OFF position.

Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest

for any gas leaks.

Proper gas pressure provides a consistent flow

of gas to the appliance and is instrumental in
checking for gas leaks. The gas control valve on the
fireplace is equipped with pressure test points for
gauge connections.  The gauge connections are
located on the front of the valve under the On/Off/
Pilot knob.  Gauge connections are identified by:
• IN/E  for inlet or supply pressure (the amount of

gas coming to the valve.)

• OUT/A  for manifold pressure (the amount of gas

that is coming out of the  valve to the burner.)
