fireplace floor. Make sure inlet end of pan
faces gas supply.
2. Thread gas supply fitting to fireplace gas
supply pipe. Use thread sealant.

5. Using thread sealant (resistant to the action
of propane/LP gas) on larger end of fitting,
screw the burner inlet fitting through hole
and into burner manifold. Tighten using
a wrench. If using propane/LP gas, see
Propane/LP Gas Conversion, page 10.
6. Using burner clamp, screw, and nut pro-
vided, assemble clamp to pan (“U” style
burners only). This will hold the burner
manifold in place.
7. If using optional GA9050A-1 kit, go to
Optional GA9050A-1 On/Off Safety
Valve/Pilot Kit Assembly for installation
instructions. If using optional GA9150A
kit, follow instructions included with kit for
installation and operation.

Natural Gas Installation
1. Thread the gas control valve onto the
burner inlet fitting (see Figure 10). Use
thread sealant on the male threads of the
burner inlet fitting. Hold the burner inlet
fitting with a wrench to prevent overtight-
ening the connection to the burner. Make
sure the control rod is facing the front (see
Figure 10).
