appliance
or
you can purchase it from your retaile
r.
We
recommend
that you install a
sediment
trap/drip
leg in supply line as shown in Figure
32.
Locate
sediment
trap/drip
leg where it is
within
reach
for
cleaning.
Install in piping sys-
tem between fuel supply
and
fi
repla
c
e. Lo
c
ate
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
fireplace
gas
controls.
If
sedi
-
ment trap/
dr
ip leg is not installe
d
or is installe
d
wrong, fireplace may not run properl
y.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping
and connections, internal and
external 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
noncorrosive leak detection
flui
d
to all joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY

(3.5 kPa)
1. Di

e
and
its
individual
equip-
ment shutoff valve from gas supply piping
system. Pressures in e
xc
ess of 1/2 psig (3.5
kPa) will
damage
fireplace
gas regulator.
2. Cap off open
end
of gas pipe where equip-
ment shutof
f valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve for
propane/LP gas

ed
on or near gas meter for natural

4.
Check
all joints of gas supply piping sys-
tem. Apply
noncorrosive

fluid
to all joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak. Correct all leaks at once.

ided
by in-
staller) from equipment shutoff valve to
fireplace.
Route

through one of the
access
holes on
