4.

Attach gas line from gas supply (see
Figure 21). Check gas connection of
flexible gas line attached to gas regu-
lator of fireplace (see Figure 21).

5.

Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 12.

6.

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.

 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 21).
The flexible gas supply line con-
nection to the equipment shutoff
valve should be accessible.

INSTALLATION

Continued

We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 18,
page 10. Locate sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping
system between fuel supply and heater. Lo-
cate sediment 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
sediment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, fireplace may not run properly.
