First and foremost, make sure that the connecting device is designed to supply a gas suitable for the type placed in
the gas installation. All necessary information regarding the desired parameters of the gas are found on the rating
plate of the device. Before connecting the gas supply, it is necessary to blow them to remove any remaining metal
filings and other contaminants from inside. Automatic gas control system should be protected from moisture and dust.
These factors may cause irreparable damage to the individual components. The pipe supplying gas to the fireplace
should be equipped with a ball valve with a recommended diameter of 1/2 inch. The individual elements of the gas
installation cannot be sealed using Teflon tape or PTFE tape.
The gas valve on the gas pipe must be installed in accordance with applicable national regulations. Before connecting
the gas, make sure that the gas pipes and connections have no dirt. Gas connection is finished with external thread
3/8 ". Regarding gas connection, the following requirements shall apply:
• You must use the gas pipe with the correct dimensions, so there is no pressure loss.
• Ball gas valve should be installed in an easily accessible place and have the necessary CE mark.
