Connection to Gas Supply
1. Place the burner pan in the fireplace. The
burner pan should be located several inches
form the back wall, centered from left to right.
NOTE: This is for burner connection purposes
only. Exact burner placement will be covered on
page 8, after all connections have been made.
2. Attach the gas supply fitting onto your
fireplace’s gas supply pipe. (Fig. 5)
3. Attach one end of the flexible gas connector to
the brass burner inlet fitting which has been
factory installed into the burner.
4. Attach the other end of the gas connector to the
flared side of the gas supply fitting.
Remember to use pipe thread sealant or teflon tape only on the straight pipe threads. Do not use
any on flared ends.
Leak Test Procedures
Create a mixture of equal parts soap and water. Apply to all the joints of the pipe fittings from the gas
supply pipe to the burner. Turn on the gas supply valve for no longer than 3-5 seconds. If bubbles appear in
the soap solution applied to the joints, there is a leak. Turn off gas supply valve and tighten those fittings.
Repeat the above procedure until no bubbles appear in the soap solution. Remember to test all joints.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS!
NOTE: Always perform a leak test any time the appliance has been moved or disconnected from the gas
supply line.
Adding Pan Material
1. Open the bag of silica sand and spread it
evenly across the burner pan, to the top, as
shown in Figure 6. You may overflow the front
and sides of the pan to cover the entire pan and
connecting hardware. NOTE: Sand is for use
with Natural Gas ONLY! Vermiculite or lava
rock must be used in place of sand for propane
gas. See propane Conversion Kit manual for
details.
2. Next, open the bag of glowing embers and
place them on top of the silica sand evenly
across the burner pan. Be sure to separate
the glowing embers into very small pieces
before placing them onto the silica sand.
