PILOT ADAPTOR KIT MODEL GA9152
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING ADAPTOR KIT
CAUTION: Turn off gas sup-
ply, disconnect electric circuit
and allow appliance to fully
cool before continuing with this
installation. Glass and refrac-
tory panels may be heavy for
some individuals Please request
someone's help if necessary.
ACCESSING THE FIREPLACE
You may access the burner system through
the opening in the front of the unit.
1. Remove front glass panels (if equipped).
This will keep them from being damaged.
To remove, partially open doors. Press
up on upper spring clip of one door panel
with a screwdriver until outer top pivot pin
is free of clip (see Figure 1). Repeat with
second door panel. Place glass panels
safely out of your work area.
2. Remove two screws holding screen as-
semblies. Slide screen rods out of mount-
ing holes located behind facial opening.
(See Figure 2).
3. If necessary, remove any hearth treat-
ments such as lava rock, pan material or
embers, from around burner pan and on
front brick access panel.
4. Remove front brick access panel by lift-
ing up and angling out of rebox opening
(see Figure 2).
5. On Craftsman and Performance models,
further access to control compartment may
be gained by removing lower panel from
facial opening. Carefully remove louvered
panel by pulling gently inside louver open-
ings for louvered panels with ngertips.
Remove smooth panel by pushing out from
inside until panel snaps free.

REMOVING GAS KNOCKOUT
There are 2 gas knockouts at front and rear on
each side refractory. Front knockouts are for
incoming rigid supply line and rear are for gas
log burner supply line (see Figure 3).
All remote ready gas logs have the controls
mounted on right side. If your has incoming
gas supply on left side, you may have to re-
move both rear knockouts to minimize expos-
ing gas lines after installing burner pan.
Whether incoming gas supply line was
installed on left or right side will determine
which side gas supply pipe enters rebox.
However, burner gas line and pilot lines must
pass through oval knockout located at right
rear side brick panel.
1. Place end of a 1.5" diameter wood dowel
or metal pipe inside knockout area and
tap with a hammer. Punch out the entire
1.5" x 2.25" slotted area. See Figure 4.
2. Clean all debris from bottom hearth pan
to prevent obstruction and insure proper
t of burner pan and valve bracket.

REMOVING GAS CONTROL VALVE
The gas valve supplied with your model hearth
kit must be removed and mounted on valve
bracket supplied with GA9152 pilot adaptor kit.
1. Unpack pan burner assembly supplied
with hearth kit.
2. Remove 2 #8 Phillips screws holding pilot
assembly to valve cover (see Figure 5).
3. Remove 2 #8 Phillips screws holding valve
cover to burner pan.
4. Remove #10 Phillips screw on rear valve
cover.
5. Lift valve cover up to expose pilot line and
terminals connected to control valve.
6. Use a 7/16" wrench to disconnect pilot
gas line (see Figure 6).
7. Disconnect red and white leads at screw
terminals marked TP and TH/TP (see
Figure 6)
8. Use a 3/4" wrench to remove 3/8" elbow
tting from the control valve inlet.
9. Use a 7/8" backup wrench on injector t-
ting and turn gas valve counterclockwise
to see (see Figure 4).
Note: The pilot and valve cover assemblies
supplied with your hearth kit may be discarded
after control valve is reinstalled with pilot
adaptor kit.

knockout opening and guide line around
lower rebox and toward center of control
compartment (see Figure 8).
5. Place valve assembly into control access
opening by inserting rear valve support
under hearth pan. Temporarily rest mount-
ing ange on top of hearth brick until
all gas line connections are made (see

CHECKING GAS TYPE AND INPUT
Verify type of gas supply necessary for your
unit. This kit can be installed for use with natu-
ral or propane/LP gas by selecting the proper
size injector and gas tting supplied with your
vented gas log. See section under INSTALLA-
TION in your gas log owner’s manual.
INSTALLING GAS INJECTOR AND
BURNER PAN
IMPORTANT: The correct size main burner
injector and gas tting included with your gas
log set must be installed with the GA9152
adaptor kit. THE INFORMATION PROVIDED
HERE AND IN YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL IS
FOR SELECTING AND INSTALLING THE
CORRECT INJECTOR AND GAS FITTING
PROVIDED WITH YOUR GAS LOG SET.
1. Note model number of your vented gas
log as shown on the carton label or on the
data plates attached to the burner pan.
2. Compare the last four characters in
the model number of your unit to the
chart below. Note size and color code
of burner orice needed for your type of
gas supply.
3. Select appropriate size injector based on
color coded paint marks on each injector.
The natural gas injectors are at. The
propane/LP injectors are tapered (see
Figure 14).
4. Select proper gas tting for your gas
supply. Propane/LP tting has six holes
and the natural tting has none (see
Figure 14).
5. Using 3/8" deep socket, thread injector
into gas tting.
6. Assemble burner pan with burner tube
clamped in correct direction for incoming
gas line. Follow instructions in owner’s
manual supplied with burner system.
7. Apply thread sealant to both male ends of
injector gas tting and use 7/8" wrench to
thread large end into burner tube until fully
seated in pan (see Figure 15, page 6).
8. Thread open end of 1/2" are tting (pro-
vided) onto injector gas tting with 3/4"
wrench until gas tight, (see Figure 15,
page 6).
