Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (See Figure 18, BVFB series).

IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.

A CSA/AGA design-certified equip-

ment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is

an acceptable alternative to test gauge

connection. Purchase the optional CSA/

shutoff valve from your dealer. See

Accessories, page 23.

The gas inlet connection for the stove heater is located on the lower right- hand side when viewed from the front of the unit. The gas connection can be made either through the bottom right side or through the lower back opening as illustrated in Figure 17. Make sure gas log heater is secured to the stove cavity assembly.
