BEFORE YOU BEGIN - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before you begin, review the below information and safeguards about the installation and operation of the Real-Fyre
®
gas log set.
Check to be sure the fi replace meets venting and construction requirements for the installation of the Real-
Fyre
®
gas log set (see FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS section, below).
Check to be sure the gas log set is designed for the proper gas type. Real-Fyre
®
log sets are designed for use
with natural gas unless clearly labeled for propane gas. Sets designed for use with propane gas must be installed with
a safety pilot system. Never use propane gas in a log set designed for natural gas or natural gas in a log set designed
for use with propane gas.
Be sure the gas log set is properly sized for the fi replace. Improper sizing may negatively impact the proper drafting
of the fi replace. Additionally, too large a log set will adversely affect the burn and hamper the proper operation of the
control system. Too small a log set will diminish the beauty of the hearth setting. Fig. 4-1 illustrates the critical dimensions
of the fi rebox.
This gas log set must be installed by an NFI Certifi ed or other qualifi ed professional installer. The installation,
including provisions for combustion and ventilation air, must conform with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes,
with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223-1 and NFPA54.
The Real-Fyre
®
gas log is to be installed only in a fully vented, noncombustible fi replace with an open damper. The
chimney must be free of any obstructions. The fi replace must be designed and approved to burn wood.
The fi replace must have a gas-supply line that has been installed by a qualifi ed technician in accordance with all
local codes. The gas-supply line must be ½" minimum interior diameter. If the gas line to the fi replace is longer than
20', a larger-diameter line may be necessary.
Be sure to clean the fi replace fl oor of any ashes or other foreign materials. It is recommended that the fi replace and
chimney be inspected by a chimney sweep or other qualifi ed person before you install the Real-Fyre
®
gas log set.
Required Gas Pressure: The minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is 7" of water
column (w.c.) for natural gas and 11" of w.c. for propane gas. The maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is 10.5" w.c.
for natural gas and 13" w.c. for propane gas.
Testing the Gas-Supply System: The gas log set and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the
gas-supply piping system while performing any tests of the piping system at pressures in excess of ½ psig. The gas
log set must be isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas-supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig. This is accomplished
by closing the gas-supply line valve, which is required by NFPA 54. A fi replace screen must be in place when the log
set is burning. When glass fi replace doors are used, operate the gas log set with the doors open.

Important: To comply with certifi cation, listings and building code acceptances, and for, safe operation and proper
performance of this log set, use ONLY Peterson Real-Fyre
®
parts and accessories. Use of other controls,
parts, and accessories that are not designed for use with Real-Fyre
®
gas log sets is prohibited and will
void all warranties, certifi cations, listings, and building code approvals, and may cause property damage,
personal injury, or loss of life.
Note: It is recommended that complete firebox
dimensions (front width, depth, back wall, and
height) be obtained to ensure proper sizing.
Note: The back width is at the depth indicated in the
table.
‡ The chimney vent opening provided is based upon a
required minimum chimney height of 15 feet.
* This log set exceeds the 90,000-BTU maximum input allowed by
the LA Standard and is not included in the RADCO listing.
