1.Remove fireplace screen. Remove two screws that hold fireplace screen in place for shipping. These screws are located near top of screen. Discard screws. Lift fireplace screen up and pull out to remove.
2.Remove screws that attach log base assembly to fireplace (see Figure 31). Carefully lift up log base assembly and remove from fireplace (see Figure 31).
CAUTION: Do not pick up log base assembly by burners. This could damage burners. Only handle base by grates.
3.Route flexible gas line (provided by installer) from manual shutoff valve to fireplace. Route flexible gas supply line through one of the access holes.
NOTICE : Most building codes do not permit concealed gas con- nections. A flexible gas line is provided to allow accessibility from the fireplace. The flexible gas supply line connection to the manual shutoff valve should be accessible.

4.Attach a 45˚ flare union gas connector to flexible gas line from gas supply (see Figure 32). Connect flare union to flex- ible gas line attached to gas regulator of fireplace (see Figure 32).
5.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections, below.

CHECKING GAS
CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas pip- ing and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Cor- rect all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water 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
1.Disconnect fireplace and its individual manual shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2
psig will damage fireplace gas regulator.
2.Cap off open end of gas pipe where manual shutoff valve was connected.
3.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther using compressed air or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter.
4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints. Bubbles form- ing show a leak.
5.Correct all leaks at once.
6.Reconnect fireplace and manual shutoff valve to gas supply. Check reconnected fittings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG
1.Close manual shutoff valve (see Fig- ure 33).
2.Pressurize supply piping system by ei- ther using compressed air or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter.
3.Check all joints from gas meter to manual shutoff valve (see Figure 34). Apply mixture of liquid soap and wa- ter to gas joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4.Correct all leaks at once.
