Connecting Equipment Shutoff Valve to Heater Control

Connecting To Gas Supply (Cont.) Connecting Equipment Shutoff Valve To Heater Control

INSTALLATION

Continued

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 20, page 14. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. 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 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 21).

NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit con- cealed gas connections. A flexible gas line is pro- vided to allow accessibility from the fireplace (see Figure 31). The flexible gas supply line connection to the equipment shutoff valve should be accessible.

2.	Route flexible gas line, included, from fireplace control to equip-
	ment shutoff valve through side access holes in outer casing.
3.	Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads of gas connec-

CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings (Thermostat-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 Con- nections, page 16. Feed flexible gas line into fireplace. Make sure the entire flexible gas line is in fireplace.
