Branch Support
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 22. Lo-
cate sediment trap where it is within reach for
cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel
supply and heater. Locate sediment trap where
trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment
trap traps moisture and contaminants. This
keeps them from going into replace controls.
If sediment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, replace may not run properly.
2.
Route exible gas line, included, from
fireplace control to equipment shutoff
valve through side or rear access holes
in outer casing.
3. Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male
threads of gas connector attached to
exible gas line/equipment shutoff valve
(see Figure 24).

4. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 19.
5. Replace branch support back into replace.
Feed exible gas line into replace base area
while replacing branch support. Make sure
the entire exible gas line is in replace base
area. Reattach branch support to replace
with screws removed in step 1.
