QUALIFIED INSTALLER Installation Planning Installer—READ THIS FIRST Only qualified licensed or trained personnel should install this appliance. 1. YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM THE HOMEOWNER: - The height of the unit and hearth if used; - The thickness and type of the wall finish around the firebox opening; - What accessories (trim, etc.) will be installed with this fireplace; - The venting configuration. 2. Unpack the appliance, removing all items packed inside and around the appliance. 3.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Installation 3. Remove the 4 screws retaining the engine to its pallet. 4. Taking great care not to cut your hands on the sheet metal edges, lift the appliance out of its packing base and place it in the framing. Make sure that the unit is at the right height with consideration to the height of the hearth or combustible flooring. 5. Install the heat shield on the top of the appliance case (3 screws). If using the top outlet, discard the shield. 2.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Installation Plan Wall Finish Non-combustible cement board The L1 Linear see-thru fireplace requires a 1/2” (13 mm) thick non-combustible cement board to be used as a wall surface immediately surrounding the unit on each side—see diagram below for minimum coverage. Extending the cement board well beyond the minimum shown will help avoid cracking due to differential expansion of materials.
Installation Cracking If a clean finish with no tile, etc. is desired, joints in the cement board and the transition to gypsum board will require special attention if future cracking is to be controlled. Be aware that temperatures on the noncombustible wall surface above the appliance can exceed 200°F. Below are some tips on how to best avoid any cracking: • Allow materials to dry thoroughly before finishing the wall.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Installation Set-up Gas Supply The gas supply inlet connection is a 3/8” NPT male connector located on the left hand side of the firebox. X Valve access side The unit is supplied with a stainless steel flex line to allow the appliance to be disconnected for service. An individual shut-off valve (not supplied) is required on the supply line ahead of the flex connector.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Installation Pressure Test Points The minimum supply pressure is given in the section Specifications of this manual—page 20. All piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or servicing. All leaks must be corrected immediately. When testing for leaks: • Make sure that the appliance is turned off. • Open the manual shut-off valve. • Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak.
QUALIFIED INSTALLER Installation Install Liners The liners install in the manner outline below. Unpack them carefully as they are fragile. 3.
