Log sets are designed for use with Natural Gas, unless clearly labeled for Propane (LP). Never use Propane Gas in a log set
designed for Natural Gus, or Natural Gas in a lug set designed for use with Propane Gas.
The installation, including provisions for combustion and ventila-
tion air, must conform with local codes or. in the absence of local
codes. with the national fuel Gas Code, ANSI 7.223.1-1988 and
NFPA54-1988.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnect-
ed from the gas supply piping system when testing at test pressures
in excess of 1/2 psig.
The appliance must he isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of gas -supply system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig. This k accomplished by closing the gas sup-
ply line valve, which is required by NFPA 54, section 5.54.

The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for the purpose
of input adjustment is 7" WC for Natural Gas and 11"
WC for Propane Gas.
The maximum inlet gas supply pressure for this burner
is 10.5" for Natural Gas and 13" for Propane Gas.
