3. Route gas line (provided by installer)
from equipment shutoff valve to fireplace.
Route flexible gas supply line through one
of the access holes.
NOTICE: Most building codes
do not permit concealed gas
connections. A flexible gas line
is provided to allow accessibility
from the fireplace (see Figure 20).
The flexible gas supply line con
-
nection to the equipment shutoff
valve should be accessible.
4. Attach the flexible gas line to gas supply
(see Figure 20). Check tightness of flex
-
ible gas line attached to gas regulator of
fireplace (see Figure 20).
5. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections,
page 16.
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.
WARNING: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 18.
Locate sediment trap where it is within reach
for cleaning. Install in piping system between
fuel supply and fireplace. Locate 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.
