FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Continued
IMPORTANT:.Install.main.gas.valve.(equip-
ment.shutoff.valve).in.an.accessible.location..
The.main.gas.valve.is.for.turning.on.or.shutting.
off.gas.to.appliance.
Check.your.building. codes. for. any. special.
requirements.for.locating.equipment. shutoff.
valve to replaces.
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 replace valves.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.We.recommend.that. you.install.a. sediment.
trap/drip.leg.in.supply.line.as.shown.in.Figure.
23, page 15. Locate sediment trap/drip leg
where.it.is. within. reach. for. cleaning.. Install.
in.piping.system. between. fuel. supply. and.
replace. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where
trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sedi-
ment.trap.traps.moisture.and.contaminants..
This keeps them from going into replace
gas.controls..If.sediment.trap/drip. leg.is.not.
installed or is installed wrong, replace may
not.run.properly.
CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS
SUPPLY
Installation Items Needed
• 3/4" and a 7/8" open end wrench or adjust-
able.wrench
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not
provided)
1.. Remove.lower.louver.door.panel.by.lifting.
up.until.disengaged..Swing.forward. and.
out.of.locating.slots.at.bottom.
2. Route exible gas line (provided by in-
staller).from.equipment. shutoff. valve. to.
replace. Route exible gas supply line
through.one.access.hole.on.each.side.of.
replace cabinet.
3. Attach exible gas line from gas supply
to the 1/2" are tting provided on control
valve.(see.Figure.24).
4.. Check.all.gas.connections.for.leaks.(see.
Checking Gas Connections).

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once. WARNING: Never use an open ame to check for a leak. Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY
PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect replace and its individual
equipment.shutoff.valve.from.gas.supply.
piping.system..Pressures.in.excess.of.1/2.
psig (3.5 kPa) will damage replace gas
regulator.
2.. Cap.off.open.end.of.gas.pipe.where.equip-
ment.shutoff.valve.was.connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening.propane/LP.supply. tank. valve.
for propane/LP gas replace or opening
main.gas.valve.located. on.or.near.gas.
meter for natural gas replace or using
compressed.air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping sys-
tem..Apply.noncorrosive. leak. detection.
uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak..Correct.all.leaks.at.once.
5.. Reconnect. fireplace. and. equipment.
shutoff.valve.to.gas.supply..Check.recon-
nected ttings for leaks.
