GAS PIPING AND GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
All gas piping must be installed to comply with local codes, or, in the absence of local
codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Unions in gas lines shall be of ground joint type. Compounds used on threaded joints of
gas piping must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gas. Gas piping must
be of sufficient size to provide a minimum natural gas pressure at the appliance of 7"
water column or 11" for LP gases for the purpose of input adjustment. The maximum
inlet gas pressure to the unit must not exceed 10" for natural gas, and 13" for LP gases.
If this unit is to be supplied with LP gas (bottled propane)the tank or bottle supplying the
gas must have a regulator that reduces the gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches
water column. The control will not operate with gas line pressure directly from the tank
and may leak gas due to this excessive pressure.
DANGER: OPERATION OF THIS UNIT ON LP GAS WITHOUT AN APPROVED
REGULATOR AT THE SUPPLY CONTAINER WILL LEAD TO GAS LEAKS AT THE
CONTROL WITH POSSIBLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Include a manual shut-off valve and union in the line so the control or heater may be
disconnected for servicing. Include a drip leg and a plugged 1/8" N.P.T. tapping into the
line also. The tapping must be accessible for the test gauge connection immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the unit. Use a soap and water solution or
liquid gas leak detector to coat each joint in the piping system and look for bubbles
which indicate gas leaks. Repair all gas leaks.
CAUTION: THE APPLIANCE AND ITS APPLIANCE MAIN GAS 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).
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
BY CLOSING THE EQUIPMENT SHUTOFF VALVE DURING ANY PRESSURE
TESTING OF THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM AT TEST PRESSURES EQUAL
TO OR LESS THAN 1/2 PSI (3.5KPA).
DANGER: DO NOT USE CANDLES, MATCHES OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES
WHEN CHECKING FOR LEAKS. FUEL GASES ARE VERY FLAMMABLE AND IN
CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS, EXPLOSIVE . CHECKING FOR LEAKS WITH AN
OPEN FLAME MAY LEAD TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
In planning the installation for the fireplace it is necessary to determine where the unit is
to be installed, the routing of the B-type vent system, and whether optional accessories
are to be used gas supply piping should also be planned.
Models SF3624/4224-TV (with the use of the Outside Air Kit) can be installed in a bedroom
(in the United States) which has a total volume of unconfined space appropriate to the
particular installation. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 -
(current edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code - (current edition), and Local Building
Officials for the options allowed in obtaining an effective bedroom volume of unconfined
space.
The fireplace can be mounted on any of the following surfaces:
1. A flat combustible surface.
2. A raised wooden platform.
3. Four (4) corner supports.
(Example: four (4) concrete masonry blocks.) These supports must be positioned so they
contact all four corner edges on the bottom of the unit.
If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other
than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the unit.
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing should
be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material. The fireplace
framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figures 7.1-7.2 for fireplace and framing reference
dimensions.
CAUTION: VERIFY FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS, FRAMING METHODS AND WALL
COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.
Determine the exact position of the fireplace so that the vent run can be planned. Figure
2.1 shows possible locations for the inside of a room, mount in a chase,
or installed in a corner. Using a level, make sure the fireplace is properly positioned
and squared.
WARNING: DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES, THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE
LOCATED OUT OF TRAFFIC AND AWAY FROM FURNITURE AND DRAPERIES.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR
NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
Please note: B-Vent appliances are not designed to operate in negatively pressured
environments (pressure within the home is less than pressure outside). Significant negatively
pressured environments caused by weather, homes built airtight or other devices may impact
the operation of this appliance. Negative pressure my result in poor flame appearance,
sooting, damage to property and/or severe personal injury. Do not operate this appliance in
negatively pressured environments.

Installing Chimney/Vent System
Models SF3624/4224TV are approved to be used with 8" B-Type Gas Vent or 8" class-A All Fuel Chimney. Under most
conditions the fireplace system will draw properly if the chimney height is determined in accordance with the following
guidelines:
Note: (90-degree elbows are not approved! Maximum offset angle must not exceed 45 degrees.) Many
manufacturers of B-Type gas vent offer High Performance, or High Wind caps. These caps limit the outlet area
for flue gasses to expel and should not be used with this fireplace. In the event of draft related problems due to
extreme wind conditions a special wind ring is available.
1. If your chimney penetrates the roof within 10' of its peak, it must be extended at least 24" above your roofs peak and be at
least 36" above the highest point of the roof opening, (see below).
2. If the chimney penetrates the roof farther than 10' from its peak, measure from the centerline of the chimney to a point 10'
away, between the chimney and the peak of the roof. The top of the chimney must be at least 36" above the highest point
of the roof opening, (see below).
3. The 10' Rule of Thumb is a guide for calculating chimney height that works under most conditions. However, many factors
can cause the need for additional chimney height beyond what 10' Rule of Thumb would indicate. Topographical factors
can cause high-pressure zones, which prevent a chimney from drawing. This can occur if the house is located in a low-
lying area, in a valley or near the base of a cliff or hillside. The same situation can occur if the chimney is near other steep
rooflines or tall buildings. Areas with high winds also frequently require higher than normal chimneys.
Certain styles of architecture tend to interfere with a fireplaces draw. If the room in which the fireplace is located has a very
high ceiling, smoke may enter the room unless the chimney is terminated at a level higher than that of the ceiling, even if
the 10' Rule of Thumb indicates a shorter chimney height.
Note: Installations which will not allow the 10' rule to be followed must be submitted to Golden Blount Inc. for
approval. 1-800-833-1139.
Warning! This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a
slight odor for an hour or two. This is due to paint
and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
The main burner flame characteristics are steady,
not lifting or floating. Typically, the top 3/4 inch of
the pilot generator should be engulfed in the pilot
flame. A periodic check of these characteristics is
necessary.
CAUTION: THE LOGS CAN GET VERY HOT!
HANDLE ONLY WHEN COOL
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Visually inspect pilot periodically. Brush or blow away any dust or lint accumulations.
If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly may be required to remove any foreign material
from orifice or tubing.

LPG (PROPANE) WARNING
THE FOLLOWING WARNING APPLIES TO INSTALLATIONS USING LP (PROPANE GAS):
WARNING: To avoid possible injury, fire and explosion, please read and follow these precautions
and all instructions of this appliance before lighting the pilot. This appliance uses LP (Propane) gas
which is heavier than air and will remain at the floor level is there is a leak. Before lighting, smell
at floor level and/or use other means (such as using a soap solution on all piping and connections,
using a gas detector, etc.) to check for gas leaks. NOTE: LP(Propane) gas can become odorless
and CANNOT always be detected by smell. If you smell gas, detect a gas leak or suspect that a gas
leak exists, follow these rules:
1. Get all people out of building.
2. DO NOT light matches. DO NOT turn electric lights or switches on or off in area. DO NOT use
an electric fan to remove gas from area. DO NOT use a telephone inside of building.
3. Shut off gas at LP tank outside of building.
4. Telephone gas company and fire department. Ask instructions. Before hanging up, give your
name, address and phone number. DO NOT go back into building.
If your LP tank runs out of fuel, turn off gas at the appliance. After LP tank is refilled, appliance
must be re-lit according to manufacturers instructions. If the gas control has been exposed to
WATER in any way, DO NOT try to use it. It must be replaced. DO NOT attempt repair on gas
control or appliance.
Tampering is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties. Any component that is found to be faulty,
must be replaced with an approved component.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the front of the appliance
clear of all obstacles and materials.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot and main burner flame
characteristics are steady, not lifting or floating. Typically the top 3/4 Inch at the pilot
generator should be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Figure 11)

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small amount of air will be in the lines.
When first lighting the pilot light, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge
themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light and
operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lighting of the appliance will
not require such purging.
WARNING: CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF
HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR
CLOTHING IGNITION. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISED
WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF GAS BEFORE SERVICING APPLIANCE. IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT A COMPETENT SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM THESE CHECKUPS AT
THE BEGINNING OF EACH HEATING SEASON.
WARNING: THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR MUST NOT
BE OBSTRUCTED.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit
a slight odor for an hour or two. This is due to
paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process. The main burner flame characteristics
are steady, not lifting or floating. Typically, the top
1/4 inch of the flame sensor should be engulfed
in the pilot flame. A periodic check of these
characteristics is necessary (Figure 10).
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: THE APPLIANCE AREA MUST BE KEPT CLEAR AND FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS
AND LIQUIDS.
Visually inspect pilot periodically. Brush or blow away any dust or lint accumulations.
If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly may be required to remove any foreign material
from orifice or tubing.
Venting system should be periodically examined by a qualified service technician or
agency to ensure proper air flow.

WARNING: To avoid possible injury, fire and explosion, please read and follow these precautions
and all instructions of this appliance before operating. This appliance uses LP (Propane)
gas which is heavier than air and will remain at the floor level is there is a leak. Before lighting,
smell at floor level and/or use other means (such as using a soap solution on all piping and
connections, using a gas detector, etc.) to check for gas leaks. NOTE: LP (Propane) gas can
become odorless and CANNOT always be detected by smell. If you smell gas, detect a gas leak or
suspect that a gas leak exists, follow these rules:
1. Get all people out of building.
2. DO NOT light matches. DO NOT turn electric lights or switches on or off in area. DO NOT use an
electric fan to remove gas from area. DO NOT use a telephone inside of building.
3. Shut off gas at LP tank outside of building.
4. Telephone gas company and fire department. Ask instructions. Before hanging up, give your
name, address and phone number. DO NOT go back into building.
If your LP tank runs out of fuel, turn off gas at the appliance. After LP tank is refilled, appliance
must be re-lit according to manufacturers instructions. If the gas control has been exposed to
WATER in any way, DO NOT try to use it. It must be replaced. DO NOT attempt repair on gas
control or appliance.
