point should be installed upstream of the appliance.
See Figure 17.
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The main gas valve is
for turning on or shutting off the gas to the fireplace.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for
locating equipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will
prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in
pipe could result in clogged burner system valves.

ARNING
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in
Figure 17
. Locate sediment trap/drip
leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner system. 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 the burner system gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system
may not run properly.
