When routing gas line through conduit sleeve,
make sure to repack insulation to fill gaps
between gas line and conduit sleeve. Com-

lightly to ensure excess sealant does not
enter gas line.
Complete your gas line installation by con-
necting incoming gas line to flexible gas
line. Secure tightly with a wrench but do not
over-tighten.
