Before installing fireplace and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below.
External regulator Piping (check local codes) Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
(supplied by installer) Test gauge connection* • Sediment trap (recommended)
Equipment shutoff valve* Tee joint Pipe wrench
approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes — not provided)
* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce
incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do not
reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent
pointing down as shown in Figure 33. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
