INSTALLATION

Continued

CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS SUPPLY

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure 20).

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 heater 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 20. 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 heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

Installation Items Needed

•Phillips screwdriver

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)

1.Route flexible gas line (provided by installer) from equipment shutoff valve into fireplace through side or rear access holes in outer casing (see Figure 21).

NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit concealed gas connections. A flexible gas line is provided to allow accessibility from the fireplace (see Figure 22). The flexible gas supply line con- nection to the equipment shutoff valve should be accessible.

2.Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads of gas connector attached to flexible gas line (see Figure 22). Connect flexible gas line to flexible gas line attached to gas valve of fireplace (see Figure 22).
