* The equipment shutoff valve may be sup-
plied with the appliance or you can purchase
it from your retailer.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure
32. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping sys-
tem between fuel supply and replace. 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 replace gas controls. If sedi-
ment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed
wrong, replace may not run properly.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once. WARNING: Never use an open ame to check for a leak. Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
pRESSURE TESTING GAS SUppLY
pIpING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1.
Disconnect replace and its individual equip-
ment shutoff valve from gas supply piping
system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5
kPa) will damage replace gas regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equip-
ment shutoff valve was connected.
3.
Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve for
propane/LP gas replace or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter for natural
gas replace or using compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping sys-
tem. Apply noncorrosive leak detection
uid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak. Correct all leaks at once.
5. Reconnect fireplace and equipment
shutoff valve to gas supply. Check recon-
nected ttings for leaks.

SUppLY

Installation Items Needed
• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not
provided)
1. Open lower louver door panel by gently
pulling forward.
2. Route exible gas line (provided by in-
staller) from equipment shutoff valve to
replace. Route exible gas supply line
through one of the access holes on side
of replace.
3. Attach exible gas line from gas supply to
control valve (see Figure 33).
4. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections.
