Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up.
NPT tap must be upstream from log set (see
Figure 4).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve
in an accessible location. The equipment
shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off
the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in a clogged burner injector.
WARNING: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap (not supplied with log set) in supply line
as shown in Figure 4, page 7. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install
in piping system between fuel supply and ap-
pliance. Locate sediment trap where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap
captures moisture and contaminants. This
keeps them from going into log set controls.
If sediment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, log set may not run properly.
CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping
and connections, internal and
external to unit, for leaks after
installing or servicing. Correct
all leaks at once.
WARNING: Never use an open
flame to check for a leak. Apply a
noncorrosive leak detection fluid
to all joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

3. Pressurize supply piping system by either
using compressed air or opening main gas
valve located on or near gas meter.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping sys-

fluid to gas joints. Bubbles forming show
a leak.

6. Reconnect log set and equipment shutoff
valve to gas supply. Check reconnected
fittings for leaks.
