prong 120 volt electrical outlet, in fireplace. Follow instruc-
tions included in kit.

cludes an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes)
after the equipment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must
be the last item installed on the gas piping. See Installing Gas
Piping to Fireplace Location, pages 11 and 12.

fireplace inside wall opening.

through holes in nailing flange (see Figure 15).

nections, page 13.
