INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

A qualified service person must connect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local
codes.
Never connect heater directly to the propane supply. This heater requires an
external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater
and propane supply.
