INSTALLATION

Continued

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 21. Locate sedi- ment 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.
