shutoff valve designed for installation outside
the appliance is recommended.
The gas pipe is intended for connection to
a decorative gas appliance that operates
using natural or propane/LP gas only. This
appliance must have an automatic shutoff
device and must comply with the Standard
for Decorative Gas Appliances for Installa-
tion in Vented Fireplace, ANSI Z21.60-1990.
