REAL CONCERNS
During the chill of the season, there's nothing
quite like a real wood fire burning in the
family fireplace. It adds warmth to our homes
and our lives. Unfortunately, the resulting
smoke releases tiny particles of soot and
gaseous pollution into the air. This
"particulate pollution" is undeniably the most
dangerous contaminant in our air —a real
concern that we at RH Peterson Co. are
addressing in everything that we do and every
product that we make.
REAL ANSWERS
By choosing Real -Fyre Gas Logs over
conventional wood logs, your fireplace will
release 100 pounds fewer pollutants into the
air per year. Indeed, Real -Fyre Gas Logs
are the cleanest, most economical, most
convenient alternative to burning real wood.
Which is why we do like to say —there is
nothing like a real fire, with Real -Fyre
Gas Logs that is!
"The reduction in air pollutant
emissions by replacing cordwood
as a fuel with a Real -Fyre gas log
set was dramatic. During testing
we had to run the gas firelog sets for
a full 24 hours to capture enough
air pollutants to measure and even
then some were below our
detection limits."
James E. Houck, Ph.D., President,
OMNI Environmental Services
Experience the real difference that comes
from choosing a safer, cleaner - burning
Real -Fyre Gas Log set for your home today,
and make a real difference in the world your
children will call home tomorrow.
The Robert H. Peterson Co. contracted with OMNI
Environmental Services Inc.* to conduct research
comparing Real -Fyre Gas Log Sets to wood - burning in
a fireplace to study:
REAL -FYRE GAS LOGS Emit
Similarly large reductions are seen in other common air pollutants,
including carbon dioxide.
"Non— Methane Volatile Organic Compounds
"'Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
REAL CHOICES
Making a real difference has been our choice
and it could be yours by choosing a Real -Fyre
Gas Log Set for your fireplace. But that hardly
means there's only one choice. Real -Fyre, in
fact, offers four distinctive series and more than
40 authentic styles, every one painstakingly
handcrafted to create the most realistic log set
ever manufactured. Experience Real -Fyre and
experience a cleaner, safer, brighter tomorrow.
THE REAL FACTS ABOUT
REAL -FYRE GAS LOGS
VS. BURNING WOOD LOGS:
Just like a wood - burning fire, a Real -Fyre Gas
Log set will fill your home with warmth. Real
warmth, in fact, as our logs' higher bulk density
means more radiant heat, both during and after
operation. Yes, wood logs are beautifully crafted
by nature, but they can only burn once and
produce 300 to 2,000 times more particulate
pollution than our gas logs in the process. By
comparison, Real -Fyre Gas Logs are crafted by
hand and will create a beautiful focal point for
your family gatherings for years to come.

I BEFORE YOU BEGIN - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before You Begin, review the below information and
safeguards about the installation and operation of your
Real -Fyre gas log set.
Check to be sure your fireplace meets venting
and construction requirements forthe installation
of your Real -Fyre gas log set (see Fireplace
Requirements section below).
Check to be sure your gas log set is designed for
the proper gas type. Real -Fyre log sets are designed
for use with natural gas unless clearly labeled for
propane (L.P.) gas. Sets designed for use with
propane gas must be installed with a safety pilot
system. Never use propane gas in a log set designed
for natural gas or natural gas in a log set designed for
use with propane gas.
Be sure your gas log set is properly sized for your
fireplace. Improper sizing may negatively impact the
proper drafting of the fireplace. Additionally, too large
a log set will adversely affect the burn and hamper the
proper operation of the control system. Too small a log
set will diminish the beauty of your hearth setting.
Figure 1 illustrates the critical dimensions of your
firebox.
This gas log set must be installed by an NFI
Certified or other qualified, professional installer.
The installation, including provisions for combustion
and ventilation air, must conform with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223 -1 and NFPA54.
IMPORTANT: To comply with RADCO listing and building code acceptances and for safe
operation and proper performance ONLY Peterson parts and accessories must be used with
this gas log set. Robert H. Peterson Co. valves, controls, parts and accessories have been
designed, tested and certified for use with Real Fyre gas log sets. Use of other controls, parts
and accessories which are not designed for use with Real Fyre gas log sets is prohibited and
will void all warranties, certifications, listings and building code approvals, and may cause
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
I FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS
Your Real -Fyre gas log is to be installed only in a fully
vented, noncombustible fireplace with an open
damper. The chimney must be free of any
obstructions. The fireplace must be designed and
approved to burn wood. The fireplace flue must be at
least 8" at its smallest dimension.
Required Gas Pressure: The minimum inlet gas
supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is
7" of water column for natural gas and 11" of water
column for propane gas. The maximum inlet gas
supply pressure is 10.5" water column for natural gas
and 13" water column for propane gas.
Your fireplace must have a gas supply line that has
been installed by a qualified technician in accordance
with all local codes. The gas supply line must be ' / 2 "
minimum interior diameter. If the gas line to your
fireplace is longer than 20', a larger diameter line may
be necessary.
Be sure to clean your fireplace floor of any ashes or
other foreign materials. It is recommended that the
fireplace and chimney be inspected by a chimney
sweep or other qualified person before you install your
Real -Fyre gas log set.
Testing the Gas Supply System: The gas log set and
its individual shut -off valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system while performing any
tests of the piping system at pressures in excess of
psig. The gas log set 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 ' / 2 psig. This is accomplished by closing the gas
supply line valve, which is required by NFPA 54,
section 5.54. A fireplace screen must be in place when
the log set is burning. When glass fireplace doors are
INSTALLING THE DAMPER CLAMP
A Damper Clamp (Item No. 13) is provided as a means 4
to prevent full and /or accidental closure of the fireplace
damper when installed as illustrated (Figure 2). When
your gas log set is operating, the damper must be
fully open. To install your damper clamp:
1. Open your fireplace damper.
2. Place the damper clamp over the damper blade
(Figure 2).
3. Tighten the set screw of the damper clamp with
pliers or a wrench so that it affixes to the damper
blade. The clamp must be permanently installed.
Damper Clamp (Part No. DC -1)
Should the damper clamp not fit, install a
permanent damper stop or provide some other
means of preventing full and /or accidental closure
of the damper.

I INSTALLING YOUR REAL -FYRE BURNER SYSTEM
3. Check to be sure your Real -Fyre Gas Log Set is
designed for the type of gas that fuels your
fireplace.
4. Be sure the gas supply to the fireplace is turned off.
5. Clean the floor of the fireplace of any dirt or ashes.
6. Remove the cap from the gas supply line stub in
the fireplace (Figure 3). Caution: Be sure that,
when removing the cap, the stub does not turn,
loosening the connection inside the wall.
Placement of Grate and Burner
7. Your Real -Fyre grate (Item No. 7) is modeled after
wood fire grates to add to the natural wood -fire
appearance of your log set. Its heavy duty
construction and design provides a better fit - even
in narrow, shallow fireboxes - and works with the
log set to provide an attractive flame pattern.
To locate your Real -Fyre gas log set properly in
the fireplace, place the grate as far back in the
fireplace as possible, centered left -to -right
(Figure 4). The grate is tapered. The widest side
should face forward.
8. Created to provide the maximum in both safety and
durability, your Real -Fyre burner pan (Item No. 8)
is constructed of high - quality steel and coated with
STABILIZER BACK
GRATE CLIPS WALL OF
FIREPLACE
Figure 4
ouniir-rn PAN
a specially formulated high temperature paint to
prevent rust. It is welded securely at all corners
and where the burner pipe passes through the pan
to ensure that gas does not escape. The burner
pipe has portholes that are precisely sized and
spaced to ensure maximum flame height, balance
and distribution. It provides for quick and quiet
ignition. The portholes are facing the bottom of the
burner pan, which prevents granules from
clogging the holes and promotes gas dispersion
throughout the burner pan.
Place the burner pan under the grate. The open
edge should face forward and the back edge of the
burner pan should be positioned approximately
half way under the grate (Figure 4).
9. Install the stabilizer clips (Item 14) on the second
grate finger in from either side so that they fit over
the back edge of the pan and tighten into place
(Figure 4). Remove the grate from the firebox for
gas connection and granule placement.
Connecting the Gas Supply
10. Your Real -Fyre gas log set is supplied with
a connector kit (CK -4, Item No. 10) which is
comprised of a connector elbow, 3/8"
aluminum tubing and a hearth elbow. The
connector kit has been designed to ensure
dependable, reliable performance. The tubing is
sized for optimum gas flow and quiet operation. The
connections are flared for leak -free operation.
For proper connection and log set placement, the
tubing may be bent manually orwith the aid of a tube
bender. Be sure you do not kink the tubing. If the
tubing must be shortened, use a tube cutter and a
flaring tool to re -flare the cut end.
11. When installing your log set, use teflon tape or
pipe compound, resistant to the action of
propane gas, on all threaded male connections
except brass to brass connections. The burner
fuel injector or air mixer (Item No. 9), although
brass in color is not brass and teflon tape or pipe
compound must be used.
12. Your burner pan is supplied with a fuel injector
for natural gas log sets or an air mixer for either
natural or propane gas sets (Item No. 9). The
fuel injector or air mixer must be used in ALL
installations. The fuel injector or air mixer has
a precisely sized orifice to ensure only the
proper quantity of gas enters the burner. This
allows maximum performance gas conservation.
INSTALLING YOUR REAL -FYRE BURNER SYSTEM
Check to see if the burner fuel injector or air mixer
is installed on the side of the burner closest to the
gas connection. The fuel injector or air mixer may
be mounted at either end of the burner pan. Be sure
the opposite end is capped tightly.

PLACEMENT OF GRANULES, EMBER GLOW AND GRATE
IMPORTANT
For all valves, the air MUST be purged from the gas line before the pilot will light properly. The time taken to do
this will depend on the length of gas line from the meter to the unit and the length of time since the unit or gas line
was last used (in the case of non -use during warm weather for example). It may take from 3 -15 minutes before all
the air is purged and the pilot will light properly. This is done using the method for lighting the pilot, but holding in
the control valve for a longer period. Follow the `Lighting Instructions' in this manual for your specific valve type.
Two types of granules are available for your Real -Fyre
burner pan. A select white sand is used with natural
gas and vermiculite granules are used with propane
gas. Never use sand in a burner designated for use
with propane gas.
The select sand (Item No. 12) is composed of
fine - quality sterile sand which has been carefully
sized for even flame distribution. It is free from foreign
elements which could cause unpleasant odors and
flame distortion. It provides quiet operation, eliminating
the "hiss" sound heard with other materials.
The vermiculite granules are specially selected for
use with propane gas. They maximize flame
distribution and reduce carbon buildup.
Granule Placement
1. With the burner pan off and properly positioned in
your fireplace, fill the burner pan completely with
the granules (sand or vermiculite). Avoid
spilling the granules on your Peterson
control, if one is in place.
2. Slope the granules at the same angle as the burner
pan. This is important to ensure quiet lighting and
even flame distribution.

TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER LAYOUT, USE HEAT
RESISTANT GLOVES OR ALLOW LOGS
3. Pour a small amount of the granules along the
outside bottom edges and back of the burner pan.
This prevents flame diversion (Figure 13).
Glowing Embers Placement
Real -Fyre ember glow (Item No. 11) is specially
formulated and sized to create the most authentic,
uniform "glow ", duplicating red hot coals under the
grate. They are a major element in the beautiful realism
of Real -Fyre gas log sets. All materials used are
nonflammable and inert, containing no asbestos.
1. Sprinkle the Real -Fyre ember glow lightly and
evenly over the entire surface of the granules
(Figure 14). For Charred Series log sets see
page 12.
Grate Replacement
1. Reposition the grate in your fireplace over the
burner pan. The grate should be as far back in the
fireplace as possible; the back edge of the burner
pan should be approximately at the half way point
of the grate (Figure 14).
2. Make sure the stabilizer clips fit over the back edge
of the burner pan.
The stabilizer clips secure the burner pan to the
grate and maintain the position of all parts of the
gas log set. This preserves your installation,
eliminates any settling problems and assures the
attractive flame pattern is maintained. These
clamps also ensure optimum safety performance of
all Peterson controls that may be installed.

PLACEMENT OF REAL -FYRE GAS LOGS
The beauty and design of your Real -Fyre gas logs are
the result of skilled craftsmanship, research and
engineering. The fine quality materials used to mold the
logs are formulated from kiln -fired ceramics, superior
refractories and the best expanded shales and
aggregates, exactly proportioned. Added to this
material are steel reinforcing rods, precisely sized and
designed to prevent breakage. This creates realistic,
long- lasting logs. Their durability has been proven by
over a half century of use in family homes. Real -Fyre
logs are guaranteed for as long as you own them.
Hairline cracks are common and may appear after the
first use. This will not affect the integrity of the logs or
the operation.
Each log is skillfully designed and crafted to duplicate
natural wood. Deep rugged bark textures and
hand - painted highlighting challenges the viewer to tell
whether they're looking at real wood logs or Real -Fyre
logs. Knot holes, branch stubs and peeled -away bark
in many styles also add to the realism of your
Real -Fyre gas log set.
Designer and Classic Series Log
Placement
(for Charred Series log sets see page 12).
Log placement is very important for the proper
operation and performance of your Real -Fyre
gas log set. Although you have some flexibility in
the log arrangement, it is necessary to follow the log
placement instructions carefully to fully enjoy your
log set.
3. The longest log (Item No. 1) is placed on the front
of the grate with the bark of the log facing forward.
If you have a heat chamber built into your log style,
it should be facing the rearof the fireplace (Figure 15).
Be sure to provide a minimum of 3" between the
front and rear log (Figure 15). This will create the
energy efficiency and heat radiating effect of the log set
and will also reduce carbon buildup.
4. Top logs should be placed diagonally with space
between the logs so that the flames are not choked
off. Top logs may be moved to achieve the desired
flame pattern. Some carbon buildup (sooting) may
be observed where the flames impinge on the logs.
Unless the sooting is excessive, this should not be
a concern. If sooting is excessive, rearrange the
top logs so there is less flame impingement.
Examples of log stacks are shown in Figure 16.
2. The second longest log (Item No. 2) is placed on the
rear of the grate with the bark of the log facing
forward. If you have a heat chamber built into your
log style, it can face forward or to the rear of the
fireplace as you desire.

Cover the surface of the COALS FYREBED with
the EMBER COALS (Part No. EM -4, supplied with
your Charred Series log set) (Figure 17a). For best
glowing performance, they should be applied evenly
and pulled slightly apart so the fibres are somewhat
loose. (It is not necessary to pile the entire bag of
the EMBER COALS. More EMBER COALS may
be added after completion of the entire installation).
