Sierra Products UV360FP Connecting Fireplace to GAS Supply, External Regulator with

Cexternal regulator LP gas only (supplied by installer)

Cpiping (check local codes)

Csealant (resistant to propane gas)

Cmanual shutoff valve*

Ctest gauge connection*

Csediment trap

Ctee joint

Cpipe wrench

Capproved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)

*An CSA design-certified manual shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-certified manual shutoff valve from your dealer.

For LP gas installations, the Installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. Of you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in figure 12. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of ½” diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to fireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

Installation must include a manual 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 fireplace (see figure 13).

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating manual shutoff valve to fireplaces.

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 fireplace valves.

CAUTION: Use only pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in figure 13.

locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. 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, the fireplace may not run properly.
