INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO
FIREPLACE LOCATION
Installation Items Needed
Before installing fireplace, make sure you
have the items listed below.
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to LP/propane gas)
• manual shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas con-
nector (if allowed by local codes) (not
provided)
* An A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable
alternative to test gauge connection. Pur-
chase the optional A.G.A. design-certified
manual shutoff valve from your dealer. See
Accessories, pages 24 and 25.
NOTICE: A qualified service per-
son must connect fireplace to
gas supply. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never connect
fireplace to private (non-utility)
gas wells. This gas is commonly
known as wellhead gas.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"
diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to fireplace. If
pipe is too small, undue loss of
pressure will occur.
