INSTALLING GAS LINE
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, and / or nausea. If you
have these signs, the heater may not be working prop-
erly.

carbon monoxide than others. Make certain you read and
understand all warnings. Place Burner Base / Grate As-
sembly in center of firebox and connect flexible gas line to

Teflon tape
or
pipe joint compound

use of Teflon tape). 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.
Complete your gas installation by connecting incoming
gas line to regulator. Secure all joints tightly with wrench
but
do not over-tighten.
