INSTALLATION

Continued

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 21, page 16. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate sediment trap where trapped mat- ter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.

CONNECTING EQUIPMENT SHUTOFF VALVE TO HEATER CONTROL

Installation Items Needed

Phillips screwdriver

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

1. Open lower louver (see Figure 22).

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.Route flexible gas line, included, from fire- place control to equipment shutoff valve through side access holes in outer casing.

3.Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads of gas connector attached to flex- ible gas line/equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 23).

CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator.Holdgasregulatorwith wrenchwhenconnectingittogas piping and/or fittings (Thermo- stat-Controlled Models 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 Connections, below. Feed flexible gas line into fireplace. Make sure the entire flexible gas line is in fireplace.

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 flame to check for a leak.

Apply a noncorrosive leak detec-

tion fluid to all joints. Bubbles

forming show a leak. Correct all

leaks at once.

CDCFNR specifications

Desa CDCFNR, or the Community Development and Capacity Building Framework for Natural Resources, is a pioneering initiative designed to empower local communities in managing their natural resources sustainably. This comprehensive framework is particularly focused on fostering resilience and enhancing the socio-economic conditions of communities that depend on these resources.

One of the main features of Desa CDCFNR is its emphasis on community participation. The framework encourages active engagement of community members in decision-making processes, which ensures that the management of natural resources reflects the needs and aspirations of local populations. By involving communities, the framework promotes a sense of ownership, responsibility, and accountability towards natural resource management.

Technologically, Desa CDCFNR leverages various innovative tools and platforms to facilitate data collection, sharing, and analysis. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are utilized to map natural resources and analyze spatial patterns, which aids in effective planning and resource allocation. Mobile applications are also employed to engage community members, allowing them to report changes in resource availability or environmental conditions in real time. This use of technology ensures that data-driven decisions can be made promptly, leading to more adaptive management strategies.

Another notable characteristic of Desa CDCFNR is its integrated approach. It does not view natural resource management in isolation; instead, it recognizes the interplay between social, economic, and environmental factors. This holistic perspective ensures that interventions are designed to address multiple dimensions of sustainability, including economic development, environmental conservation, and social equity.

Capacity building is at the heart of the Desa CDCFNR initiative. Training programs and workshops are organized to enhance the skills of community members in areas such as sustainable farming practices, water management techniques, and biodiversity conservation. By building local capacities, the framework aims to equip communities with the necessary tools and knowledge to manage their resources effectively and adapt to changing environmental conditions.

In summary, Desa CDCFNR focuses on community engagement, harnesses technology for better resource management, adopts an integrated approach to sustainability, and emphasizes capacity building. Together, these features position Desa CDCFNR as a transformative framework in the realm of community-led natural resource management, paving the way for sustainable development and resilience in local communities.
