Installing Gas Conversion Kits
CAUTION
The gas supply shall be shut OFF prior to discon-
necting the electrical power, before proceeding
with the conversion.
ATTENTION

IMPORTANT
The burner orifice provided in this kit are only for
use at elevations of 0 to 2,000 feet (610 M) in the
USA and 0 to 4,500 feet (0-1372 M) in Canada. At
higher elevations the BTU input must be de-rated
by 4% for every 1,000 feet (305 M) to maintain
the proper ratio of gas to air. If the installer must
convert the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, a
deration information sticker must be filled out by the
installer and adhered to the appliance at the time
of the conversion. Contact your local gas supplier
for deration requirements for your area.
1. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE FIREPLACE. Disconnect
power supply at the circuit breaker. Ensure fireplace is cold.
2. Remove the barrier assembly, facade, and glass door per in-
struction in the Installation and Operation Manual.
3. If applicable: Remove the facade and lower compartment cover
for easier access.
4. If applicable: Remove the Media (including glass, porcelain pan-
els, logs & rocks).
5. Perform the following conversion instructions:

GAS CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing gas components use pipe joint com-
pound or Teflon tape on all pipe fittings before installing (ensure pro-
pane resistant compounds are used, do not use pipe joint compounds
on flare fittings).
Step 1. Remove the screws in perforated media floor and remove.
Step 2. Remove the screw in the burner and slide to the right to remove
(taking care not to bend air shutter adjustment rod).

Figure 4A
Figure 3
Step 3. Remove the Orifice (seen in figure 2) and replace with orifice pro-
vided in this kit. Verify correct orifice vs provided (Table 6, page 7).
Step 4. Remove the low-rate orifice from the valve and replace with the ori-
fice supplied in kit. See Figure 3. Flat head screwdriver and pliers required).
Step 5. Remove the regulator set plug. See Figure 4A or 4B.

Step 7. To adjust the pilot to Natural gas: turn the pilot orifice counter-
clockwise. To adjust the pilot to Propane gas: turn the pilot orifice clock-
wise. See Figure 7.

Pilot Assemblies may vary. Type ‘A’ pilot will require a flat standard
screwdriver and Type ‘B’ pilot will require a 4mm allen wrench.

Step 8. Reinstall pilot hood. See Figure 6.
Step 9. Retrieve the burner and hold the venturi tube above the orifice.
Place the shutter adjusting rod in the slot of the shutter arm (Figure 8)
while sliding the burner to the left and replace burner screw [Note: Burner
has L shaped flanges that will install in the burner support brackets].
Step 10. Before reinstallation of the perforated media floor, verify the pilot
to burner relationship . Page 6 figure 11.
Step 11. Reinstall any media and panels that were removed. Refer to in-
stallation manual and/ or instruction sheets for proper placement/ instal-
lation.
Step 12. Reinstall the glass door.
Step 13. Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a gas leak test
solution—also known as bubble leak solution.
NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an effective leak test solution but
it is not recommended, because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/
fittings can result in corrosion over time.
Step 14. Adjust the burner air shutter per instructions in the Installation
and Operation manuals and Table 2 and Figures 6 and 7.
CAUTION: The air shutter should never be set so as to make the tips of
the flames sooty or create sooting on the viewing glass, logs, or media.
If soot begins to form after burning, the air shutter should be opened
gradually until the sooting condition stops. Gas quality and gas pres-
sure may vary, which can affect the burning characteristics of the ap-
pliance.
WARNING
Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Adjust the air shutters per instructions in Figure 8 and Table 2.
2. Light the fireplace. Follow the lighting procedure on the lighting label in
the control compartment.
3. Allow the burner to operate for at least fifteen (15) minutes while
observing the flame continuously to ensure that the proper flame
appearance is achieved (Figure 9). If the following conditions are
present, adjust accordingly.
• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust the air shutter, incrementally,
to a more open position until the proper flame appearance is
achieved.
• If flame remains blue, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a
more closed position until the proper flame appearance is achieved.

A. Light the fireplace (refer to the lighting instructions label in the control
compartment).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to
check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn
off the appliance. Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection, and
then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, rinse off the leak testing
solution.

Step 15. Using a manometer, test the inlet and manifold gas pressures
(Tables 3 -4, Page 7). The inlet pressure is tested at elbow fitting
removable plug and the outlet pressure is tested at gas valve outlet test
port (see Figures 14 and 15 on Page 7).

REFERENCE INFORMATION
Gas Pressure Test Points
The outlet manifold test gauge connection is provided on the valve stem
of the electronic gas valve (see Figure 14). The inlet line gas pressure test
points are shown in Figures 15 and 16. Some appliances are built with a
1/8” NPT plug (Figure 15) while others have a captive pressure tap located
on the regulator body (Figure 16). The control valves have a 3/8” (10 mm)
NPT thread inlet and outlet side of the valve.
