3.Install gas piping to fireplace location. This installation includes an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) after the equipment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the last item installed on the gas piping. See Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location, page 13.
4.Place hearth base accessory against wall at installation location. Cut an access hole in hearth top to run flexible gas line to fire- place (see Figure 9, page 10). Make sure to locate access hole so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed.
Note: You can secure base to floor using wood screws. Countersink screw heads and putty over.
