conveniently with a key through a wall as
shown in Figure 16.
In conformance with local codes, route a
1/2" NPT gas line to appliance through hole
in left side of firebox or sub-floor as shown
in Figure 17.
CAUTION: Do not kink flex-
ible gas line.

FMI PRODUCTS, LLC recommends that a
black iron gas line be routed from the gas
source, through a sediment trap (shown in
Figure 18) and into appliance. Once con-
nected through appliance, a flexible gas line
may be used for ease of installation to gas
control valve (see Figure 19, page 13).
Before connecting black iron gas line to inside
of appliance a sediment trap must be included
outside appliance between gas line and gas
shutoff valve. It must extend down 3" beyond
center of pipe. Prepare incoming black iron
gas line with teflon tape or pipe joint com-
pound (Check with local building codes).
