gas applIance InstallatIon

7. Pack the insulation removed in step 4 around the pipe to prevent air owing through the tube either into

or out of the rebox.

8. Be sure the gas is turned off at the appliance, then turn the gas on at the cut off valve and test the gas

line connections for leaks with soapy water solution or a liquid leak detector. DO NOT USE A MATCH

OR OTHER FLAME SOURCE TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. If a gas leak is detected, turn the gas off

immediately and x the leak.

9. Proceed with testing the appliance for leaks and adjusting it as required by the manufacturer

applyIng decoratIve trIM to the FIreplace

Do not allow the trim materials to extend closer than 3/8 inch to the vertical edges of the rebox opening if you

plan to equip the replace with glass doors.

The face of your replace may be left exposed or trimmed with any noncombustible material such as brick,

stone or marble. If a trim is installed, be sure it is fastened snugly to the face of the replace. A crack between

the material and the face of the replace could pose a re hazard and impair the proper operation of the

replace. Blocking the replace with framing and attaching the base to the supporting oor will further reduce

the possibility of such a crack developing.

Wall ties should be fastened to the face of the replace with sheet metal screws and placed in the mortar joints

of masonry trim.

Combustible material must not be installed below the top spacers of the replace or overlap the sides of the

replace face. Seal the face of the replace to the surrounding wall with non-combustible caulk or trim materials

to prevent cold air leakage around the replace.

The trim should not block or restrict in any way the ow of air into the side air inlets in the face of the

replace.

Be sure to provide the required oor protection as described in a preceding section of this manual.

Combustible mantles and trim must be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association

- ANSI NFPA 211 Standard - Section 7-2.3.3.
