Figure 11 - Gas Connection
CONNECTING EQUIPMENT SHUTOFF
VALVE TO HEATER CONTROL
Installation Items Needed
• Phillips screwdriver
• Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not
provided)
1. Open lower louver (see Figure 13).
NOTICE: Most building codes do not
permit concealed gas connections. A
fl exible gas line is provided to allow
accessibility from the fi replace (see
Figure 17). The fl exible gas supply line
connection to the equipment shutoff
valve should be accessible.
2. Route fl exible gas line, included, from
fi replace control to equipment shutoff valve
through side access holes in outer casing.
3. Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male
threads of gas connector attached to
fl exible gas line/equipment shutoff valve
(see Figure 14).

4. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections
below. Feed
fl exible gas line into fi replace. Make sure
the entire fl exible gas line is in fi replace.
CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping
and connections, internal and exter-
nal to unit, for leaks after installing or
servicing. Correct all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open
fl ame to check for a leak. Apply a
noncorrosive leak detection fl uid to all
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
Correct all leaks at once.

We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 12.
Locate sediment trap where it is within reach
for cleaning. Install in piping system between
fuel supply and heater. Locate sediment
trap where trapped matter is not likely to
freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants. This keeps them from going
into fi replace controls. If sediment trap is not
installed or is installed wrong, fi replace may
not run properly.
