NOTICE: Most building codes
do not permit concealed gas
connections. A flexible gas line
is provided to allow accessibility
from the fireplace (see
Figure
7
).
The flexible gas supply line con-
nection to the equipment shutoff
valve should be accessible.

WARNING: Use pipe joint

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure
6
, page
12
. Locate
sediment trap where it is within reach for clean-
ing. Install in piping system between fuel supply
and fireplace. Locate sediment trap where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps
moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from
going into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap
is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may
not run properly.
CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS
SUPPLY
1. Remove
access
panel.
2.
Route gas line (provided by installer) from
equipment shutoff valve to fireplace. Route
flexible gas supply line through one of the
access holes.
3. Attach the flexible gas line to gas supply as
p
er Figure 7. Check tightness of flexible gas
line attached to gas regulator of fireplace and
check all gas connections for leaks ( see
Checking Gas Connections
, page 1
6
).
CHECKING GAS PRESSURE
1. Check gas type. The gas supply must be the same as
stated on the appliance’s rating decal. If the gas supply
is different from the fireplace, STOP! Do not install the
appliance. Contact your dealer immediately.
2. To ease installation, a 30" (mm) flex line with manual
shut-off valve has been provided with on this appliance.
Install and attach
1
/
2
" gas line onto shut-off valve.

Do not use open flame to check for gas leaks.
WARNING
3. After completing gas line connection, purge air from
gas line and test all gas joints from the gas meter to the
fireplace for leaks. Use a solution of 50/50 water and
soap or a gas sniffer.

at
valve, turn captured
screw counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then
place tubing to pressure gauge over test point.
IMPORTANT: Turn unit to high. After taking
pressure reading, be sure and turn captured
screw clockwise firmly to reseal. Do not
overtorque. Check test points for gas leaks!
