A sediment trap should be included between incoming gas line and regulator connection.

The sediment trap must extend a minimum of 3" down below the center of the incoming pipe.

Prepare incoming black iron gas line with Teflon tape or pipe joint compound (check with local codes as to the use of Teflon tape).

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of Liquefied Petroleum (LP or Propane), and should be applied lightly to ensure excess sealant does not enter the gas line.

Complete your gas installation by connecting incoming gas line to regulator. Secure all joints tightly with wrench but do not over-tighten. If a flexible gas line is used, take care not to kink connector.

Repack insulation in and around the conduit sleeve and flexible gas line.
