PRE-INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION SAFETY GUIDELINES

This ﬁreplace is designed to be installed with select R.H.P. vented/unvented gas appliances. The following

3 sections of warnings apply to this complete setup type:

A. A shut-off valve (not included) in the gas line is optional. It provides for safety when the unit is not in use

and for convenient maintenance and repair. It can be installed within 6 feet of unit. Use a pipe joint compound

resistant to all gasses on all male ﬁttings except ﬂare ﬁttings.

B. Before installing this unit, check the MINIMUM CLEARANCES section to ensure that the surrounding area is

properly sized for the installation.

C. The unit is for outdoor use only. DO NOT install or use this appliance inside a building, garage, or any other

enclosed area, including recreational vehicles and/or boats. THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED SO THAT

THE VENT OPENINGS AND SURROUNDING AREA OF THE UNIT REMAIN CLEAR AND FREE AT ALL

TIMES.

D. SOLID FUEL MUST NOT BE BURNED in the unit.

E. CHECK GAS TYPE (natural gas or propane): The gas supply you intend to use may not be the same as that

stated on the burner rating plate as purchased. If the gas supply is different, DO NOT INSTALL, and contact

the dealer for assistance.

F. FOR NATURAL GAS: The minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 5" water

column (w.c.), and the maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is 10.5 " w.c.

FOR PROPANE GAS: The minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 11" w.c., and

the maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is 13" w.c. DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IF MINIMUM PRESSURE

IS NOT AVAILABLE OR IF MAXIMUM PRESSURE IS EXCEEDED.

G. The gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum ﬂow rate

(BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small, or the run is too long. Gas supply pipe must

be

1

/

2

" minimum interior diameter. If the gas line is longer than 20', a larger diameter line may be necessary.

Refer to the NFPA 54 guidelines for further details.

H. For installations at elevations above 2,000 ft., contact your local dealer or gas supplier before installing. Input

ratings should be reduced approximately 4% per 1,000 ft. above sea level. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code.

I. The gas appliance and the individual shut-off 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

psi (3.5 kPa). This is accomplished

by closing the gas-supply line valve. The unit must be isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing its

individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas-supply piping system at test pressures

equal to or less than

1

/

2

psi (3.5 kPa).

J. When a gas appliance is for connection to a ﬁxed piping system, the installation must conform with local codes,

or in the absence of local codes with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54; International Fuel

Gas Code, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1; or Propane Storage and Handling Code,

B149.2, as applicable.

K. INSTALLER NOTE: This unit should be installed so that it can be removed if service is required.

L. GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses on all male pipe ﬁttings. Make sure to tighten every

joint securely. Do not use pipe joint compound to connect ﬂare ﬁttings. Bring the gas-supply pipe up from

beneath the hearth or directly behind the hearth as appropriate for your installation.

CAUTION: Installation and maintenance must be done by an NFI Certiﬁed or other qualiﬁed professional service

technician. Installer, read these instructions (and all other instructions provided with separately purchased

product) before installing. Be sure you understand all safety precautions and warnings contained in the

manual(s).

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION (cont.)

GAS SUPPLY SETUP (if applicable)

For Natural or Household Propane Gas Supply:

The gas supply is to be brought up from beneath the hearth

or directly behind it. Your individual installation may vary.

Observe the National Fuel Gas Code and all local codes.

1. Route the gas supply into the area that the hearth will

rest over.

Important: Locate the gas supply line out of pathways

where people may trip over it or in areas

where the line may be subject to accidental

damage (if applicable).

Note: A shut-off valve (not included) in the gas line is

optional. It can be installed within 6 feet of the unit.

Use a pipe joint compound resistant to all gasses on

all male ﬁttings except ﬂare ﬁttings.

FIREPLACE ASSEMBLY - STEP BY STEP

CAUTION: Fireplace components are heavy.

CAREFULLY handle all components during

assembly.

Important: DO NOT overtighten (to avoid damage to the

unit).

A Phoenix Fireplace with a 16" Radiused Bullnose Hearth

is primarily depicted here. Your assembly may slightly vary

depending on model and hearth selected.

Hearth

1. CAREFULLY place the hearth or hearth pieces in an

appropriate location (refer back to the LOCATION section

if needed).

For one-piece hearths, step 2-5 are not applicable:

proceed to the following section.

2. Arrange the hearth pieces in their proper position. Then

insert the bolts and washers into the outer pieces of the

hearth as shown in Fig. 17-1.

3. Carefully slide the left outer-piece against the center

piece while aligning the pilot holes. Then reach into

the center hearth (through access opening), place the

washers and nuts, and hand tighten. See Fig. 17-2.

4. Use a

3

/

4

" open end wrench (or equivalent) to apply a

1/4 turn to secure.

Important: DO NOT overtighten (to avoid damage to the

unit).

5. Repeat for the right outer-piece.

end wrenches (or equivalent) to fasten.

Note: It is recommended to rest cardboard on the hearth

when positioning the body (to prevent damage to the

hearth surface). Remove once positioned.

Connect Gas Supply

Important: Before installation, be sure the gas supply

(propane or natural) is turned off at its source.

The ﬁreplace has a key valve pre-installed on either the right

or left side of the ﬁreplace. For ﬁreplaces that have the rear

gas line option, a

" rigid gas pipe is pre-installed to the

valve and protrudes out of the rear of the unit.

(A ﬂex connector is pre-attached to the key valve on the

interior of the ﬁreplace. An R.H.P. burner is to be connected

to it at a later time.)

1. Route the gas supply (natural gas, household propane,

or from an L.P. Cylinder) to the unit as applicable.

For rear installs, see Fig. 18-2.

For underneath installs, see Fig. 18-3.

Observe all codes and ensur e all appropriate connections

are used to properly connect the gas supply. Apply only joint

compounds that are resistant to all gasses to all male pipe

ﬁttings except ﬂare ﬁttings. Make sure to tighten every joint

securely and properly leak test at all connections.

Important: This fireplace does not accommodate

propane cylinders. If a cylinder is used it must

be located in a safe location.

Tank tables are available from American

Fyre Designs. Contact your local dealer for

ordering information.
