ALLOWABLE TERMINATION LOCATIONS on page 13.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the fireplace. The line
must be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. Immediately up stream of the
supply connection, the fitter shall provide an accessible manual shut-off valve and a ⅛ NPT
plugged tapping accessible for connection to a test gauge.
CAUTION:
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½
psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa). Failure to do so will damage the appliance’s gas
valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
