CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified ser- vice person must connect fire- place to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect fireplace directly to the propane/ LP supply. This fireplace re- quires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the fireplace and propane/LP supply.
The installer must supply an external regu- lator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incom- ing gas pressure, fireplace regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged fireplace valves.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal- ant that is resistant to liquid pe- troleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 20 . Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate sedi- ment 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.
the vent pointing down as shown in Figure

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see Figure 20).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equip- ment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
