INSTALLATION
Continued
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to fireplace
insert. If pipe is too small, undue
loss of volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT
tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT
tap must be upstream from fireplace insert (see
Figure 14).
IMPORTANT:
Install equipment shutoff valve
in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff
valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to
the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special re-
quirements for locating equipment shutoff valve
to fireplaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result
in clogged fireplace valves.
WARNING: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure 14. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install
in piping system between fuel supply and heater.

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 insert gas controls. If sediment trap
is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may
not run properly.
