CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of this fireplace involves installing fire-
place along with the corner, face, or cabinet mantel with hearth base
accessories against a wall in your home. Follow the instructions
below to install the fireplace in this manner.
Note:
The instructions in this section show installation using the
cabinet mantel and hearth base accessories. The hearth base accessory
shown is optional for this installation. You can install fireplace and
cabinet mantel directly on the floor. The corner mantel accessory for
models VYGF33NRB or VYGF33PRB can only be paired with the
corner hearth base. If mounting fireplace and cabinet or corner mantel
to the floor, an optional G3005 Series Slim Base kit may be installed.
1. Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base, and trim accessories.
Assembly instructions are included with each accessory.
2. When installing blower, install a properly grounded, 120 volt
three-prong electrical outlet at fireplace location if an outlet is
not there. If possible, locate outlet so cabinet mantel will cover
it when installed (see Figure 9).
3. Install gas piping to fireplace location. This installation includes
an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) after
the equipment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the
last item installed on the gas piping. See Installing Gas Piping
to Fireplace Location, pages 12 and 13.
4. Place hearth base accessory against wall at installation location.
Cut an access hole in hearth top to run flexible gas line to fire-
place (see Figure 9). Make sure to locate access hole so cabinet
mantel will cover it when installed.
Note:
You can secure base to
floor using wood screws. Countersink screw heads and putty over.
5. Route flexible gas line through access hole in hearth base.
6. Center cabinet mantel on hearth base (see Figure 10). Make
sure mantel is flush against wall.
7. Break off nailing flanges (see Figure 11) with hammer or pliers.
8. Place cardboard or other protective material on top of hearth
base. Carefully set fireplace on protective material, with back
of fireplace inside mantel opening.
9. Attach flexible gas line from fireplace gas regulator to gas sup-
ply. See Connecting Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 13.
10. If blower is installed, route blower electrical cord through ac-
cess holes in either side of fireplace.
Note:
Bushing may be
moved if necessary. Plug electrical cord into electrical outlet.
11. Carefully insert fireplace into cabinet mantel. Be careful not
to scratch or damage hearth base, cabinet mantel, or any lami-
nate trim on hearth base (laminate trim for models
VYGF33PRB and VYGF33NRB only). Remove protective
material from top of hearth base and from front of fireplace (if
any).
Note:
You can secure fireplace to hearth or floor. Open
lower louver. Locate screw holes in bottom of base. Tighten
wood screws through these holes and into hearth or floor.
12. Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Con-
nections, page 14.
