INSERT INSTALLATION
NOTE : The gas line connection may be made using
1/2" rigid tubing or an approved flex connector. Since
some municipalities have additional local codes it
is always best to consult your local authorities and
the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI.Z223.1, NFPA54. In Canada CSA-B149 (1 or 2)
Installation Code.
A listed manual shutoff is factory installed upstream of
appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tap-
ping point should be installed upstream of the appliance.

IMPORTANT:
The main gas valve is for turning on or
shutting off the gas to the insert.
Check your building codes for any special requirements
for locating equipment shutoff valve to inserts.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe
could result in clogged burner system valves.

CAUTION
Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to
liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
CAUTION
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg
in supply line as shown in
Figure 15
. 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 contami
-
nants. 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.
