2.Route flexible gas line, included, from fireplace control to equipment shutoff valve through side or rear access holes in outer casing.

3.Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads of gas connec- tor attached to flexible gas line/equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 32).

CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings (Thermostat-Controlled Mod- els Only).

CAUTION: Avoid damage to gas control. Hold gas control with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings (Remote-Ready Models Only).

4.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Con- nections.

5.Replace branch support back into fireplace. Feed flexible gas line into fireplace base area while replacing branch support. Make sure the entire flexible gas line is in fireplace base area. Reat- tach branch support to fireplace with screws removed in step 1.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.
