INTRODUCTION
The GHC-5500/6500N, P models are circulat-
ing system appliances; the GRD-5500/6500N,
P models are radiant heat system appliances;
both types utilize a millivolt gas control valve
and a piezo ignition system. There is no need
for an external power source to operate these
systems. They are designed to operate on
either natural or propane gas.
WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION,
ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION, SERVICE
OR MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE INJURY
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. REFER TO THIS
MANUAL. FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDI-
TIONAL INFORMATION CONSULT A
QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SERVICE
AGENCY OR THE GAS SUPPLIER.
Table 1
shows the units' factory-installed
gas orifice size for installations at elevations
of 0-2000 feet (0-610 meters).
Table 1
Table 2
shows the units' gas orifice size for
installations at elevations greater than 2000 ft.
(0-610 m.). These orifices must be ordered
separately using the kit numbers listed in table 2.
Table 2
These appliances are designed to operate on
natural or propane gas only. The use of
other fuels or combination of fuels will de-
grade the performance of this system and
may be dangerous.
For elevations of 0-2000 ft. (0-610 m.) the
GHC/GRD-5500 input is 24,000 BTU/HR for
both natural and propane gases, the GHC/
GRD-6500 input is 27,000 BTU/HR for both
natural and propane gases.
Nominal operating pressures for the manifold
side of the gas control system are; 3.5 inches
water column (6.54 MmHg) for natural gas
models and 10 inches water column (18.69
MmHg) for propane gas models.
The GHC-5500NE-2, PE-2 and GHC-6500EN,
EP models are circulating system appliances;
the GRD-5500NE-2, PE-2 and GRD-6500EN,
EP models are radiant heat system appliances;
both utilize an electronic gas control valve
along with an intermittent ignition system.
These systems require an external power source
in order to operate. They are designed to oper-
ate on either natural or propane gas.
These appliances comply with National Safety
Standards and are tested and listed by Warnock
Hersey (Report No. J20046562 - for 5500
series; J20046564 - for 6500 series models)
to ANSI Z21.50 - 2000 (in Canada, CSA 2.22 -
2000), and CAN/CGA-2.17-M91 in both USA
and Canada, as vented gas fireplaces.
Installation must conform to local codes. In
the absence of local codes, installation must
comply with the current National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54). (In Canada, the
current CAN/CGA B149 installation code.) Elec-
trical wiring must comply with local codes. In
the absence of local codes, installation must
be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code, NFPA 70 - (latest edition). (In Canada,
the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code.)
