FIREBOX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Any
Follow and complete the installation instructions of the gas log set and the requirements of this firebox.
Check all fittings for leaks before lighting the gas log set.
In planning the installation for the firebox, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned at this time.
A gas shut off must be in this line.
