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.

Always check for gas leaks with a mild 
soap and water solution applied with a 
brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never 
apply 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 form 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 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. 
Remote ON/OFF Switch
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch for this gas 
appliance into a 120v power supply.
1.  Thread wire through the electrical knockout located 
on either side of the unit. Take care not to cut the 
wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure the wire is 
secured and protected form possible damage. Run 
one end of the gas control valve and the other end to 
the conveniently located wall switch.
2.  Attach the wire to the  ON/OFF switch and install 
switch into receptacle box. Attach cover plate to 
switch.
3.  Connect wiring to gas valve. (Fig. 7)

Alternate Switch Location
The remote switch can be installed on the front/side 
of the access door. Simply mount the switch to the 
bracket provided and screw the bracket to either side 
of the frame, lining up the screws with the pre-punched 
holes. (Fig. 8)
The fireplace, when installed, must be 
electrically connected and grounded in 
accordance with local codes or, in the ab-
sence of local codes, with the current CSA 
C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.
For USA installations follow local codes 
and the national electrical code  ANSI/
NFPA No. 70.
It is strongly suggested that the wiring of 
the EB-1 Electrical Junction Box be carried 
out by a licensed electrician.
Ensure that the power to the supply line 
has been disconnected before commenc-
ing this procedure.
