Desa VSGF28NTF Owner's Operation And Installation Manual page 15

WARNING: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 18.
Locate sediment trap where it is within reach
for cleaning. Install in piping system between
fuel supply and fireplace. Locate sediment
trap where trapped matter is not likely to
freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants. This keeps them from going
into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap
is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace
may not run properly.

nection to the equipment shutoff
valve should be accessible.
4. Attach the flexible gas line to gas supply

ible gas line attached to gas regulator of
fireplace (see Figure 20).
5. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 16.
6. Replace log base assembly back into
fireplace. Feed flexible gas line into fire-
place base area while replacing log base
assembly. Make sure the entire flexible
gas line is in fireplace base area. Reat-
tach log base assembly to fireplace with
