INSTALLING SCREEN
1. Slide round end of screen rod into rings at
top of screen. Attach one push-on nut to end
of rod before attaching last ring of screen.

on the left and right side of smoke shelf
(Figure 30).
3. Mount flat end of screen rod with #10 x 5/8"
to center of smoke shelf.
4. Install other screen rod in same manner.
WARNING: All gas piping
and connections must be tested
for leaks after the installation is
completed.
After ensuring that gas valve
is on, apply a commercial leak
detection solution to all con-
nections and joints. If bubbles
appear, leaks can be detected
and corrected.
Do not use an open flame for leak
testing and do not operate any
appliance if a leak is detected.
Complete your gas installation by connect-
ing incoming gas line with flexible gas line
attached to the log/burner module. Secure
tightly with wrench but
DO NOT OVER-

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged fireplace valves.
