OPTIONAL GAS LINE INSTALLATION
Gas line hook up should be done by your supplier or a qualified service person.
Note: Before you proceed, make sure your gas supply is turned off.
Use only a 1/2" black iron pipe and appropriate fittings.
1.Remove knockout indentation on refracto- ry or firebrick wall located above refractory hearth floor. Knockout indentation must be firmly tapped with any solid object, such as a 1/2" dowel, until it is released. Remove fragmented portions of refractory (see Figure 21).
2.Remove gas line cover plate located on either side of fireplace and pull out insu- lation from gas line conduit sleeve. Save insulation for reuse.
3.Run a 1/2" black iron gas line into fire- place through rear at gas line conduit sleeve (if using a raised platform, add height). Provide sufficient gas line into fireplace chamber for fitting connection (see Figure 22).
Note: Secure incoming gas line to wood framing to provide rigidity for threaded end.
4.Repack insulation around gas line and into sleeve opening. Seal any gaps between gas line and refractory knockout hole with refractory cement or commercial furnace cement. Install gas appliance or cap off gas line if desired.
CAUTION:All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation is com- pleted. After ensuring that gas valve is on,apply soapandwater solution to all connections and joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
