LocateNPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up.NPT tap must be upstream from fireplace (seeFigure 32).IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipmentshutoff valve) in an accessible location. The maingas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gasto the appliance.Check your building codes for any special re-quirements for locating equipment shutoff valveto fireplaces.Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPTthreads. This will prevent excess sealant fromgoing into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could resultin clogged fireplace valves.WARNING: Use pipe jointsealant that is resistant to liquidpetroleum (LP) gas.We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 32. Lo-cate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reachfor cleaning. Install in piping system between fuelsupply and fireplace. Locate sediment trap/drip legwhere trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sedi-ment trap traps moisture and contaminants. Thiskeeps them from going into fireplace gas controls.If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is in-stalled wrong, fireplace may not run properly.Figure 33 - Connecting Flexible Gas Lineto Electronic Valve1/" NPTIncomingGas LineInletPressureTap OutletPressure TapEquipmentShutoff ValveFlexible Gas LineDo NOT KinkNote: Wire Connections Not Shown for ClarityRed SurfaceIndicates ForPropane/LPUse OnlyCONNECTING FIREpLACE TO GASSUppLYInstallation Items Needed• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, notprovided)1.
