GAS LINE HOOK-UP
WARNING: Before you pro
-
ceed, make sure your gas supply
is OFF.
WARNING: Gas line hookup
should be done by your gas
supplier or a qualified service
person.
An equipment shutoff valve has been included
in the appliance’s gas supply system. You
may consider installing an extra gas shutoff
valve outside appliance’s enclosure (check
with local codes) where it can be accessed
more conveniently with a key through a wall
as shown in Figure 41.
Route a 1/2" NPT black iron gas line towards
appliance coming in from the left. It is recom-
mended to route pipe between stand of firebox
and surround of fireplace (see Figure 42).
IMPORTANT:
The appliance and its individual
shutoff valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig. (3.5 kPa). The appliance
must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual equipment
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.5 kPa).
CAUTION: Do not kink flex
-
ible gas line.
CAUTION: Compounds used
on threaded joints of gas piping
shall be resistant to the action
of Liquefied Petroleum (LP or
propane), and should be applied
lightly to ensure excess sealant
does not enter the gas line.
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
