Orifice Size; Gas Valve Access Door; Manual Gas Shutoff - Honeywell Flare Front Series Installation Manual

ORIFICE SIZE

Flare Fireplace appliances are tested and approved for installations at elevations of 0–4500 feet (0–1372 meters) above sea
level using the standard burner orifice sizes. At the time of installation, it must be determined if the appliance needs to be de-
rated. Contact your local gas supplier for deration requirements for your area. De-rated installation consideration can start at
2000 Ft above sea level. At higher elevations, the amount of BTU fuel value delivered must be reduced by either using gas that
has been de-rated by the gas company or by changing the burner orifice to a smaller size as regulated by the local authorities
having jurisdiction and by the (USA) National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or in Canada, the CAN/CSA-
B149.1 code – latest edition.

GAS VALVE ACCESS DOOR

The Flare Fireplace gas valve and control system is on an "umbilical cord" that can be stretched up to 50" from the middle of
the fireplace and be put next to the access door location.
If the fireplace is to sit low on the floor, the controls must be placed outside the non-combustible zone or insulated from the
heat from the fireplace. The access door can be placed on any side of the fireplace, below the non-combustible line. The use of
a 10"x10" access door is highly recommended. If no access door is installed, it is possible to access the gas valve from inside
the fireplace by removing the glass. The access door can also be used as a lower air intake for a double glass installation if it is
perforated, and the opening requirements are maintained. The access door can be concealed in many ways such as HVAC vent
cover, removable tile connected with Velcro straps and more.

MANUAL GAS SHUTOFF

The installation of this appliance REQUIRES the implementation of a readily accessible Manual Gas Shut Off. Confirm
requirements of location and shut off type with your local codes.
NOTE: The Electronic Ignition of Flare Fireplaces DOES NOT satisfy the requirement for a Manual Gas Shut Off. See below for
example of Manual Gas Shut Offs.

Do not place the gas valve or controls above the level of the burner.
