Installation, Fuel, and Compatibility
Install only in a compatible outdoor enclosure with the correct natural gas supply and 24VAC electrical service.
The manufacturer catalog identifies enclosure ventilation on at least two sides, a minimum 50% free air space, a minimum 2-inch bottom clearance, and size-dependent combustible clearances for the square flat insert family.
Installation safety: These are family-level guidelines, not a substitute for the current model-specific manual or applicable local codes. Have gas and electrical work performed by qualified professionals.
Natural Gas Supply
This exact part number is configured specifically for Natural Gas.
The gas supply, piping, pressure, and related components must meet the requirements of the exact model and installation.
Do not substitute propane for this natural-gas configuration unless the manufacturer specifically provides an approved conversion pathway for this exact model.
24VAC Electrical Service
The electronic ignition system requires 24VAC power.
Electrical service should be planned before the enclosure is completed so the ignition, flame-control, and remote-control components can be installed and serviced according to the manufacturer's requirements.
Enclosure Planning
The enclosure must be designed around more than the visible pan dimensions.
Cutout dimensions, ventilation, drainage, structural support, gas access, electrical access, serviceability, surrounding materials, and required clearances all need to be coordinated with the exact insert.
Ventilation
The manufacturer information for the square flat insert family identifies ventilation requirements on at least two sides of the enclosure and minimum free-air requirements.
Do not cover or obstruct required ventilation openings with decorative finishes, storage areas, landscaping materials, or other enclosure components.
Drainage and Water Management
HPC Fire describes the certified square flat insert family as using raised burner hubs and weep holes for water mitigation.
The complete enclosure should still be planned so water can drain properly and does not remain trapped around the burner, controls, electronic components, or gas connections.
Clearances and Surrounding Materials
Required clearances vary according to the exact product and installation conditions.
Do not apply clearance measurements from another pan size, HPC model, ignition configuration, fuel configuration, or voltage configuration to this 24-inch natural-gas electronic-ignition model.
