CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified service person must connect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect fire- place directly to the propane/LP supply. This fireplace requires an external regulator (not sup- plied). Install the external regula- tor between the fireplace and pro- pane/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
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
Installation must include a manual 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 17).
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.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 17. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. 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.
