PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION This section is for residential or manufactured (mobile) installation “This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are adequate combustion and ventilation air.” The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height =_________cu.ft.(volume of space) EXAMPLE: 20 ft.(Length) x 16 ft.(Width) x 8 ft.(ceiling Height)= 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space. 2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum BTU/Hr the space can support. _________(volume of space)/50 cu. ft.
VENTILATION AIR VENTILATION AIR FROM INSIDE BUILDING This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When venting to an adjoining space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see Options 1 and 2, Figure 8). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see Option 3, in Figure 8). WARNING REWORK WORKSHEET, ADDING THE SPACE OF THE ADJOINING UNCONFINED SPACE.
WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST HAVE FRESH AIR FOR PROPER OPERATION. IF NOT, POOR FUEL COMBUSTION COULD RESULT. READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE PROPER FRESH AIR FOR THIS AND OTHER FUELBURNING APPLIANCES IN YOUR HOME. VENTILATION AIR FROM OUTDOORS Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces.
WARNING: ANY CHANGE TO THIS HEATER OR ITS CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS. GAS CONNECTION Check gas type. Use only the type of gas indicated on the valve rating plate. If the type of gas listed on the plate is not your type of gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper model. Always use an external regulator for all LP heaters to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum of 13" W.C. This is in addition to the regulator furnished with the heater.
CONNECTING TO A GAS SUPPLY CAUTION: NEVER CONNECT HEATER DIRECTLY TO THE PROPANE SUPPLY. THIS HEATER REQUIRES AN EXTERNAL REGULATOR (NOT SUPPLIED). INSTALL THE EXTERNAL REGULATOR BETWEEN THE HEATER AND THE PROPANE SUPPLY. The installer must supply the external regulator for liquid propane gas. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If incoming gas pressure is not reduced, heater regulator damage will occur.
CAUTION: Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check state and local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" or greater in diameter to allow proper gas volume. If piping is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur. Installation must include manual shutoff valve and plugged 1/2" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook-up. NPT tap must be upstream from unit. Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads.
GAS PRESSURE CHECK Check the inlet pressure to the burner to insure that it is as shown in the table below. NOTE: The pressure check point is located on the right side of the valve facing burner. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
LOG PLACEMENT FOR 1127 Logs are shipped secured in unit. NOTE: When operated for the first time, logs may emit a “paper burning” smell. This smell will gradually diminish and will be totally eliminated after the first few hours of operation. Do not use the blower at this time. Front View of Logs WARNING “FAILURE TO POSITION THE PARTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE DIAGRAMS OR FAILURE TO USE ONLY PARTS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED WITH HEATER MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE SHUTTING OFF UNIT: Open access panel door, located in lower front center of base for access to control knobs. Set thermostat (flame control) to lowest setting. Turn control knob clockwise to the full “OFF” position.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION The thermostat control used on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This will increase or decrease the flame height. At times, the room may exceed the set temperature, which will cause the burner to shut off.
FLAME CHECK A periodic check of the flames should be made. The pilot flame should always be present when the unit is in operation. See Figure 17. FLAME: Propane (LP) should produce a flame that is about 6" above the rear log. This flame should be yellow. Natural gas should produce a flame that is about 3" to 4" above rear log. This flame should be mostly blue except for the top tips which should be yellow.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN Figure 18 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 19 shows an incorrect burner flame pattern. NOTE: When using the heater the first time, the logs will emit a paper like odor for about one hour.
