Connecting to Gas Supply (Cont.) Connecting Equipment Shutoff Valve to Heater Control

INSTALLATION

Continued

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 24. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. 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 controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.
