GAS LINE HOOK-UP
WARNING: Gas line hookup
should be done by your gas
supplier or a qualified service
person.
WARNING: Before you pro-
ceed, make sure your gas supply
is OFF.
A manual shutoff valve has been included in
the appliance’s gas supply system. You may
consider installing an extra gas shutoff valve
outside the appliance’s enclosure (check with
local codes) where it can be accessed more
conveniently with a key through a wall as
shown in Figure 16.
In conformance with local codes, route a 1/"
NPT gas line to the appliance through hole
in left side of firebox or sub-floor as shown
in Figure 17.
CAUTION: Do not kink flex-
ible gas line.
3. Activate the remote handset battery by
removing the insulating tab on the back of
the handset (see Figure 15). The battery
is included pre-installed.
4. Once the battery is activated the unit is
ready to use.
5. Replace front refractory access panel.

DESA recommends that a black iron gas line
be routed from the gas source, through a
sediment trap (shown in Figure 18) and into
the appliance. Once connected through the
appliance, a flexible gas line may be used for
ease of installation to gas control valve (see
Figure 19, page 13).
Before connecting the black iron gas line to
the inside of the appliance a sediment trap
must be included outside the appliance be-
tween the gas line and the gas shutoff valve.
It must extend down three (3) inches beyond
the center of the pipe. Prepare incoming black
iron gas line with teflon tape or pipe joint com
-
pound (Check with local building codes).
