3.Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up towars the bottom of the burner box and in a position where you can reach the regulator cap.

IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe when tightening fittings.

Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP gas. Do not use TEFLON® tape.

You will need to determine the fittings required depending on your installation.

Typical flexible connection

1.Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see C and F in following illustration).

2.Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.

3.Use a ¹⁵⁄₁₆" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that connector is not kinked.
