NOTICE: Most building codes do
not permit concealed gas con-
nections. A flexible gas line is
provided to allow accessibility
from the fireplace (see Figure 19).
The flexible gas supply line con-
nection to the manual shutoff
valve should be accessible.

Route flexible gas line (provided by
installer) from manual shutoff valve to
fireplace. Route flexible gas supply line
through one of the access holes.
Figure 17 - Gas Connection
* Purchase the optional A.G.A. design-cer-
tified manual shutoff valve from your dealer.
See Accessories, pages 24 and 25.
Installation must include a manual shutoff
valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap.
Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge
hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from
fireplace (see Figure 16, page 10).
Check your building codes for any special
requirements for locating manual shutoff
valve to fireplaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male
threads. This will prevent excess sealant
from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe
could result in clogged fireplace valves.
Continued
CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal-
ant that is resistant to liquid pe-
troleum (LP) gas.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown
in Figure 17. Locate sediment trap where it
is within reach for cleaning. Locate sedi-
ment trap where trapped matter is not likely
to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture
and contaminants. This keeps them from
going into fireplace gas controls. If sedi-
ment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, fireplace may not run properly.
4.
Attach a 45° flare union gas connector
to flexible gas line from gas supply (see
Figure 19). Connect flare union to flex-
ible gas line attached to gas regulator
of fireplace (see Figure 19).
5.
Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 12.
6.
Replace log base assembly back into
fireplace. Feed flexible gas line into fire-
place base area while replacing log base
assembly. Make sure the entire flexible
gas line is in fireplace base area. Reat-
tach log base assembly to fireplace with
screws removed in step 2.
