GAS LINE HOOK-UP
WARNING: Gas line hookup should be done by your
gas supplier or a qualified service person.
WARNING: Before you proceed, make sure your
gas supply is OFF.
A manual shutoff valve has been included in the appliance's gas sup-
ply system. You may consider installing an extra gas shutoff valve
outside appliance's enclosure (check with local codes) where it can
be accessed more conveniently with a key through a wall as shown
in Figure 15.
In conformance with local codes, route a 1/2" NPT gas line to appliance
through hole in left side of firebox or sub-floor as shown in Figure 16.
CAUTION: Do not kink flexible gas line.

IHP recommends that a black iron gas line be routed from the gas
source, through a sediment trap (see Figure 17) and into appliance.
Once connected through appliance, a flexible gas line may be used
for ease of installation to gas control valve (see Figure 18, Page 13).
Before connecting black iron gas line to inside of appliance a sediment
trap must be included outside appliance between gas line and gas
shutoff valve. It must extend down 3" beyond center of pipe. Prepare
incoming black iron gas line with teflon tape or pipe joint compound
(Check with local building codes).
CAUTION: Compounds used on threaded joints of
gas piping shall be resistant to the action of Liquefied
Petroleum (LP or propane) and should be applied lightly
to ensure excess sealant does not enter the gas line.
WARNING: All gas piping and connections must be
tested for leaks after the installation is completed.
After ensuring that the gas valve is on, apply a com-
mercial leak detection solution to all connections and
joints. If bubbles appear, leaks can be detected and
corrected.
Do not use an open flame for leak testing and do not
operate any appliance if a leak is detected.
