In absence of local codes, install the appliance to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 Installation
Code which can be obtained from:
American National Standards Institute Inc. or National Fire Protection Association Inc.
1430 Broadway Batterymarch Park
New York, NY 10018 Quincy, MA 02269
The appliance and its individual shutoff 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 psig (35 mb). The appliance 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 1/2 psig (35 mb). When installed
with a blower or fan, the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local
codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current ANSI / NFPA 70 National Electric Code. In the case
where the blower is equipped with a power cord it must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle. The
grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.
As long as the required clearance to combustibles is
maintained, the most desirable and benefi cial location for
the appliance is in the center of a building, thereby allowing
the most effi cient use of the heat created. The location of
windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the room where the
appliance is to be located should be considered.
If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or
other combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the
appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.
Air shortage caused by an inadequate air supply, improper log positions, the addition of foreign or unapproved
materials or the failure to properly maintain the appliance, may result in incomplete combustion of the fuel.
Incomplete combustion results in soot being deposited inside the fi rebox as well as surfaces outside the
appliance. If any soot deposits are observed, shut off the appliance immediately and arrange for it to be serviced
by a qualifi ed technician.
We suggest that our gas
hearth products be installed
