Connecting Fireplace To Gas Supply - Desa Vanguard VCGF30PR Owner's Operation And Installation Manual

INSTALLATION
Continued
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in supply line as shown in Figure 18,
page 10. Locate sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping
system between fuel supply and heater. Lo-
cate 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.

cate two phillips-head screws at top
corners of front window assembly. Re-

CAUTION: Do not pick up log
base assembly by burners. This

3. Route flexible gas line provided by in-
staller from equipment shutoff valve to

not permit concealed gas con-
nections. A flexible gas line is
provided to allow accessibility
from the fireplace (see Figure 21).
The flexible gas supply line con-
nection to the equipment shutoff
valve should be accessible.
