FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Continued

We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 31. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and fireplace. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into fireplace gas con- trols. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.
