The damper must
be in a fully open position, any time that this appliance is in

). Using a 3/8” nut driver or socket, and turning in a

( SEE FIGURE 1, page 3 )
NOTE: The State of Massachusetts requires that the chimney
flue damper, when used with decorative gas log sets, be welded
open or completely removed.
3- Using two adjustable pipe wrenches ( one wrench on the gas
stub, and one wrench on the fitting ), remove the existing cap or
gas jet assembly from the gas stub in your fireplace, by turning
the wrench on the gas cap, in a counter-clockwise direction.
4- Clean the pipe threads, on the gas stub, using either, a wire brush
or steel wool. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the steel fittings
before making any connection.

Teflon tape or pipe dope.
