LP Gas Pressure Requirements
Inlet and manifold gas pressure checking taps are located on gas valve. These ports are only accessible from
the outer left side of the fireplace. A qualified installer will take pressure measurements at these ports to
verify and set the correct gas pressures during the LP Kit installation and before fascia materials are installed
over the front of this fireplace. Manifold pressure must be taken at the “MANIFOLD PRESSURE" tap and inlet
pressure at the "INLET PRESSURE" tap with the burner operating by a qualified installer.
