BEFORE YOU BEGIN - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before You Begin, review the information and
safeguards below about the installation and operation
of the Real-Fyre
®
gas log set.
Check to be sure that the fi replace meets the venting
and construction requirements for the installation
of the Real-Fyre
®
gas log set.
THIS BURNER IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH
NATURAL GAS. Never use propane gas in this burner.
Be sure the gas log set is properly sized for the
fi replace. Improper sizing may negatively impact the
proper drafting of the fi replace. 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 the hearth setting. Fig.
4-1 illustrates the critical dimensions of the fi rebox.
This gas log set must be installed by an NFI
Certifi ed or other qualifi ed 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.
The Real-Fyre
®
gas log set is to be installed only in
a solid-fuel burning fi replace with a working fl ue and
constructed of noncombustible material. The fi replace
must have an open damper. The chimney must be free
of any obstructions. The fi replace fl ue must be at least
8" at its smallest dimension.
The fi replace must have a gas supply line that has
been installed by a qualifi ed technician in accordance
with all local codes. The gas supply line must have a
½" minimum interior diameter. If the gas line to the
fi replace is longer than 20', a larger diameter line may
be necessary.
Be sure to clean the fi replace fl oor of any ashes or other
foreign materials. It is recommended that the fi replace
and chimney be examined and cleaned by a chimney
sweep or other qualifi ed person before you install the
Real-Fyre
®
gas log set, and annually thereafter.
Required Gas Pressure: The minimum inlet gas-
supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment
is 5" for natural gas. The maximum inlet gas-supply
pressure for this burner is 10.5" for natural gas.
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 ½ psig
(3.5 kPa). 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa). This is accomplished by closing
the gas supply line valve, which is required by NFPA
54, section 5.54. A fi replace screen must be in place
when the log set is burning and, unless other provisions
for combustion air are provided, the
screen must have an opening(s) for
introduction of combustion air. When
a glass fi replace enclosure (door) is
used, operate the gas log set with the
glass doors open.
