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.
