FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location (Cont.)
Connecting Fireplace To Gas Supply
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply
line as shown in Figure 31. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it
is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel
supply and fireplace. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace gas con-
trols. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong,
fireplace may not run properly.
