CAUTION: Do not pick up
log base assembly by burner.
This could damage burner. Only
handle base by grates.
3. Route gas line (provided by installer)
from equipment shutoff valve to fireplace.
Route flexible gas supply line through one
of the access holes.
NOTICE: Most building codes
do not permit concealed gas
connections. A flexible gas line
is provided to allow accessibility
from the fireplace (see Figure 17).
The flexible gas supply line con-
nection to the equipment shutoff
valve should be accessible.
4. Attach flexible gas line to gas supply (see
Figure 17). Check tightness of flexible gas
line attached to gas regulator of fireplace
(see Figure 17).
5. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 16.
6. Replace log base assembly back into
fireplace. Feed flexible gas line into fire-
place base area while replacing log base
assembly. Make sure the entire flexible
gas line is in fireplace base area. Reat-
tach log base assembly to fireplace with

WARNING: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 15,
page 14. Locate sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping
system between fuel supply and fireplace.
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter
is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps
moisture and contaminants. This keeps them
from going into fireplace gas controls. If sedi-
ment trap is not installed or is installed wrong,
fireplace may not run properly.
