Connecting Fireplace to GAS Supply

INSTALLATION

Continued

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 14, page 14. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for clean- ing. Install in piping system between fuel supply and ﬁreplace. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into ﬁreplace gas controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, ﬁreplace may not run properly.

Installation Items Needed

•5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver

•Phillips screwdriver

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not pro- vided)

1.Remove ﬁreplace screen. Remove one screw that holds ﬁreplace screen in place for ship- ping. This screw is located near top left side of screen. Discard screw. Lift ﬁreplace screen up and pull out to remove.

2.Remove screws that attach log base assembly to ﬁreplace (see Figure 15). Carefully lift up log base assembly and remove from ﬁreplace (see Figure 15).

Note: If adding the G8007 series brick liner acces- sory, install it now. Follow instructions in G8007 accessory kit.

CAUTION: Do not pick up log base assembly by burner. This could damage burner. Only handle base by grates.

3.Route gas line (provided by installer) from equipment shutoff valve to ﬁreplace. Route ﬂexible gas supply line through one of the access holes.

NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit concealed gas connections. A ﬂexible gas line is provided to allow accessibility fromtheﬁreplace(seeFigure16). The ﬂexible gas supply line con- nection to the equipment shutoff valve should be accessible.

4.Attach the ﬂexible gas line to gas supply (see Figure 16). Check tightness of ﬂexible gas line attached to gas regulator of ﬁreplace (see Figure 16).

5.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections, page 16.

6.Replace log base assembly back into ﬁreplace. Feed ﬂexible gas line into ﬁreplace base area while replacing log base assembly. Make sure the entire ﬂexible gas line is in ﬁreplace base area. Reattach log base assembly to ﬁreplace with screws removed in step 2.
