1. Knockouts are on each side of the fireplace outer jacket for convenience in running the gas line to the unit.
2. Choose the gas line routing that results in the shortest length of run and requires the least number of fittings
and joints to avoid excessive pressure drop.
3. Connect the gas line to the inlet side of the gas valve.
NOTE: Compounds used on thread joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of liquefied
petroleum gases.
A 1/8 inch (3 mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, should be provided in the
gas supply line leading to the unit’s shutoff valve.
4. After gas piping installation is complete, carefully check all piping connections for gas leaks using a leak
detecting solution.
Caution: The gas valve can be damaged if subjected to more than ˚ psig during pressure testing
of the gas piping system. The gas valve must be disconnected or isolated from the piping system
during pressure testing.
