INSTALLINGContinuedINSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FORVENTED OPERATIONNote: When used as a <strong>vent</strong>ed <strong>heater</strong>, appliance must be installed only in a solidfuelburning fireplace with a working flue and constructed of non combustiblematerial.If your <strong>heater</strong> is a manually controlled model, you may use this <strong>heater</strong> as a <strong>vent</strong>edproduct. There are three reasons for operating your <strong>heater</strong> in the <strong>vent</strong>ed mode.1. The fireplace does not meet the clearance to combustibles requirements for<strong>vent</strong>-<strong>free</strong> operation.2. State or local codes do not permit <strong>vent</strong>-<strong>free</strong> operation.3. You prefer <strong>vent</strong>ed operation.If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you must permanently open chimney fluedamper. You must install the damper clamp accessory (to order, see Accessories, page33). This will insure <strong>vent</strong>ed operation (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will keepdamper open. Installation instructions are included with clamp accessory.See chart below for minimum permanent flue opening you must provide.

INSTALLINGContinuedMasonry ScrewMountingBracketFigure 12 - Attaching Mounting Brackets to HeaterCONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLYNOTICEA qualified service person must connect <strong>heater</strong> to <strong>gas</strong> supply.Follow all local codes.WARNING ICON G 001CAUTIONNever connect <strong>heater</strong> directly to the <strong>propane</strong> supply. This <strong>heater</strong>requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the externalregulator between the <strong>heater</strong> and <strong>propane</strong> supply.Installation Items NeededBefore installing <strong>heater</strong>, make sure you have the items listed below.• external regulator (supplied byinstaller, see page 16)• piping (check local codes)• sealant (resistant to LP <strong>gas</strong>)• manual shutoff valve *• test gauge connection *• sediment trap• tee joint• pipe wrench* An A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptablealternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional A.G.A. design-certified manualshutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories, page 33.Continued10130915


INSTALLINGContinuedThe installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduceincoming <strong>gas</strong> pressure. You must reduce incoming <strong>gas</strong> pressure to between 11 and14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming <strong>gas</strong> pressure, <strong>heater</strong> regulatordamage could occur. Install external regulator with the <strong>vent</strong> pointing down asshown in Figure 13. Pointing the <strong>vent</strong> down protects it from <strong>free</strong>zing rain or sleet.PropaneSupply TankExternalRegulatorVent PointingDownFigure 13 - External Regulator With Vent Pointing DownWARNING ICON G 001WARNINGNever connect <strong>heater</strong> to private (non-utility) <strong>gas</strong> wells. This <strong>gas</strong> iscommonly known as well-head <strong>gas</strong>.WARNING ICON G 001CAUTIONUse only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned coppertubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Usepipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper <strong>gas</strong> volume to<strong>heater</strong>. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.Installation must include a manual shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap.Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstreamfrom <strong>heater</strong> (see Figure 14, page 17).Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will pre<strong>vent</strong> excess sealantfrom going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in c<strong>log</strong>ged <strong>heater</strong> valves.WARNING ICON G 001CAUTIONUse pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) <strong>gas</strong>.Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14, page 17. Locate sedimenttrap where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate sediment trap where trappedmatter is not likely to <strong>free</strong>ze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. Thiskeeps them from going into <strong>heater</strong> controls. If sediment trap is not installed or isinstalled wrong, <strong>heater</strong> may not run properly.16101309

INSPECTINGBURNERSCheck pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.PILOT FLAME PATTERNFigure 25 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 26 shows an incorrect pilot flamepattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause thethermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the <strong>heater</strong> will shut down.ThermocouplePilot BurnerThermocouplePilot BurnerFigure 25 - Correct PilotFlame PatternFigure 26 - Incorrect PilotFlame PatternIf pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 26• turn <strong>heater</strong> off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 21 [thermostat-controlledmodels] or page 23 [manually-controlled models])• see Troubleshooting, pages 25 through 28FRONT BURNER FLAME PATTERNFigure 27 shows correct front burner flame pattern. Figure 28 shows incorrect frontburner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping at top ofblue flame.WARNING ICON G 001WARNINGIf yellow tipping occurs, your <strong>heater</strong> could produce increased levelsof carbon monoxide.

OPTIONALPOSITIONINGOF THERMOSTATSENSING BULBFor Masonry andFactory-builtMetal FireplaceIf your <strong>log</strong> set cycles to pilot, but the room temperature drops to a lower thanideal comfort level before the <strong>log</strong> set comes back on, you may want to repositionthe thermostat sensing bulb.The thermostat sensing bulb is located on the <strong>gas</strong> valve assembly. This location allows thethermostat to keep the room temperature at an ideal comfort level for most fireplaceapplications. For positioning the thermostat sensing bulb elsewhere, an adhesive-backedmounting clip has been provided.Tools needed: 5/16" hex driver or socket1. Locate the <strong>gas</strong> valve assembly and thermostat sensing blub (see Figure 29).ThermostatSensing BulbGas ValveAssemblyFigure 29 - Location of Gas Valve Assembly and Thermostat Sensing Bulb2. The adhesive-backed mounting clip (see Figure 30) is attached to the thermostat sensingbulb. Remove the adhesive-backed mounting clip.Figure 30 - Adhesive-backed Mounting Clip3. With 5/16" hex driver or socket, loosen the thermostat screw. Carefully slide the thermostatsensing bulb out of the retaining clamp (see Figure 31).Note: Do not remove the screw.
