GAS CONNECTION
A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the fireplace to the gas supply.
Consult all local codes.
Use new black iron or steel pipe only. Internally tinned copper tubing can be used in some areas
when permitted by local codes. Only use pipe of 1/2" or greater diameter to allow full gas
volume to heater. Excessive pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small.
A manual shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point must be installed
upstream of the heater (FIGURE 4).
A sediment trap must be installed upstream of the heater to prevent moisture and contaminants
from passing through the pipe to the heater controls and burners. Failure to do so could
prevent the heater from operating reliably (FIGURE 4).
IMPORTANT: Loosen the pipe adapter on the flex tube before installing to the system piping.

NOTICE
CAUTION
Connecting directly to an unregulated propane/LPG tank can cause an
explosion.
CHECK GAS TYPE: The gas supply must be the same as stated on heater's rating plate. If the gas supply is
different, DO NOT INSTALL the heater. Contact your dealer for the correct model.
