FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Continued
IHP recommends that a black iron gas line be routed from the gas
source, through a sediment trap (shown in Figure 16), and into ap-
pliance. Once connected through appliance, a flexible gas line may
be used for ease of installation to gas control valve (see Figure 17).
Before connecting the black iron gas line to the inside of the appliance
a sediment trap must be included outside the appliance between the
gas line and the gas shutoff valve. It must extend down 3" beyond
the center of the pipe. Prepare incoming black iron gas line with
Teflon tape or pipe joint compound (Check with local building codes).
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. Sealant should not be used on a flare fitting
WARNING: All gas piping and connections must
be tested for leaks after the installation is completed.
After ensuring that the gas valve is on, apply a non-
corrosive leak detection solution to all connections
and joints. If bubbles appear, leaks can be detected
and corrected.
Do not use an open flame for leak testing and do not
operate any appliance if a leak is detected.
Complete your gas installation by connecting incoming gas line
with flexible gas line. Secure tightly with wrench but DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
