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 15, page 14. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. 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.

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(seeFigure17). The flexible gas supply line connection to the equipment shutoff valve should be accessible.
4.Attach flexible gas line to gas supply (see Figure 17). Check tightness of flexible gas line attached to gas regulator of fireplace

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 fire- place base area while replacing log base assembly. Make sure the entire flexible gas line is in fireplace base area. Reat- tach log base assembly to fireplace with screws removed in step 2.
