Natural Gas Installation

1.  Thread the gas control valve onto the burner inlet fitting (see 

Figure 7). Use thread sealant on the male threads of the burner 

inlet fitting. Hold the burner inlet fitting with a wrench to prevent 

overtightening the connection to the burner. Make sure the control 

rod is facing the front (see Figure 7).

2.  Attach the pilot gas line to the pilot outlet of the gas control valve 

and tighten. Connect the thermocouple to the rear of the gas 

control valve. See Figure 8. Do not overtighten. If using propane/

LP gas, see

 Changing Pilot Orifice

, page 6.

3.  Install the inlet fitting into the inlet opening of the gas control valve 

(see Figure 9). Use thread sealant on the male pipe threads.

4.  Place the burner pan assembly in the center of the fireplace floor. 

Make sure the front of pan faces forward.
