FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Continued
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/
drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 23. Lo-
cate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach
for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel
supply and replace. Locate sediment trap/drip leg
where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sedi-
ment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This
keeps them from going into replace gas controls.
If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is in-
stalled wrong, replace may not run properly.

CONNECTING FIREPLACE TO GAS
SUPPLY
Installation Items Needed
• 3/4" and a 7/8" open end wrench or adjustable
wrench
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not pro-
vided)
1. Remove lower louver door panel by lifting
up until disengaged. Swing forward and out
of locating slots at bottom.
2. Route exible gas line (provided by installer)
from equipment shutoff valve to replace.
Route exible gas supply line through one of
the access holes on each side of the replace
cabinet.
3. Attach exible gas line from gas supply to the
1/2" are tting provided on the control valve
(see Figure 24).
4. Check all gas connections for leaks (see
Checking Gas Connections).

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping
and connections, internal and
external to unit, for leaks after
installing or servicing. Correct
all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open
ame to check for a leak. Apply
noncorrosive leak detection uid
to all joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY
PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect replace and its individual equip-
ment shutoff valve from gas supply piping
system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa)
will damage replace gas regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment
shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane/LP supply tank valve for
propane/LP gas replace or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter for natural
gas replace or using compressed air.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system.
Apply noncorrosive leak detection uid to all
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct
all leaks at once.
5. Reconnect replace and equipment shutoff
valve to gas supply. Check reconnected ttings
for leaks.
