WARNING
A qualified installer or service person
must connect appliance to gas supply.
Follow all local codes.
CAUTION
For propane/LP units, never connect
fireplace directly to the propane/LP
supply. This burner system requires an
external regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between the burn-
er system and propane/LP supply.
External regulators may be necessary for
natural gas. One- or two-pound systems
will damage this appliance and may cause
fire hazard.
CAUTION
Use only new black iron or steel pipe. In-
ternally tinned copper or copper tubing
can be used per National Fuel Code, sec-
tion 2.6.3, providing gas meets hydrogen
sulfide limits, and where permitted by lo-
cal codes. Gas piping system must be
sized to provide minimum inlet pressure
(listed on data plate) at the maximum flow
rate (BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss will oc-
cur if the pipe is too small.
