Installation

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 15, page 14. 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
Installation Items Needed
• 5/16" hex socket wrench or

Note: If adding the G8007 series brick liner acces- sory, install it now. Follow instructions in G8007 accessory kit.
CAUTION: Do not pick up log base assembly by burner. This could damage burner. Only handle base by grates.
3.Route gas line (provided by installer) from equipment shutoff valve to fireplace. Route flexible gas supply line through one of the access holes.
NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit concealed gas connections. A flexible gas line is provided to allow accessibility fromthefireplace(seeFigure17). The flexible gas supply line con- nection to the equipment shutoff valve should be accessible.
4.Attach the flexible gas line to gas supply (see Figure 17). Check tightness of flexible gas line attached to gas regulator of fireplace (see Figure 17).
5.Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 16.
6.Replace log base assembly back into fireplace. Feed flexible gas line into fireplace base area while replacing log base assembly. Make sure the entire flexible gas line is in fireplace base area. Reattach log base assembly to fireplace with screws removed in step 2.
