Locate NPT tap within reach for test gaugehook up. NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (see Figure 22).IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessiblelocation. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shuttingoff the gas to the appliance.Check your building codes for any special requirements for locatingequipment shutoff valve to fireplaces.Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will preventexcess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe couldresult in clogged fireplace valves. Never use sealant on flare threads.WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistantto liquid petroleum (LP) gas.We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line asshown in Figure 22. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach forcleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and fireplace.Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. Asediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps themfrom going into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap is notinstalled or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe.Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in cer-tain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume tofireplace. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volumewill occur.Figure 21 - External Regulator on Propane/LP Supply Tank withVent Pointing DownExternalRegulatorVentPointingDownPropane/LPSupply TankINSTALLATIONContinuedFigure 22 - Gas Connection* Purchase the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoffvalve from your dealer.
