Connection between the manual shutoff valve and the gas
valve can be made with an CSA design certified flexible
connector if allowed by local codes. A drip leg (sediment
trap) must be installed, (see figure 5). Tighten all joints
securely.
CAUTION: Failure to install a drip leg (sediment trap)
may result in improper combustion that will produce
soot. Reference Sections 3.7 and 5.5.7 and Figure 5.5.7
