D. Installation to existing gas line in fireplace. A manual ON-OFF valve should be present within easy
reach of the gas log set. If a manual valve is not present, one must be installed prior to the gas log
installation.
E. Pre-fabricated fireplace. Refert to the manufacturer's fireplace instruction manual for specific information
regarding the running of a gas line into that particular model
• A typical pre-fab installation involves the insertion of a 1/2 inch gas pipe through the gas line tube
provided by each manufacturer outside the fireplace. The knockout on the inside of the fireplace is
rermoved as the gas pipe is punched through the fireplace
• An ON-OFF valve should be placed within easy reach of the fireplace either inside the fireplace or in
the wall. Re-pack any insulation removed from the gas line tube. (See Figure 3)
F. Masonry fireplaces. A 1/2 inch gas supply line must be provided to the firebox. Most installations require
drilling an access hole through the masonry wall. The supply line should be secured and sealed by mortar
within the access hole. The supply line should also have an ON-OFF valve either in the wall or inside the
fireplace. (See Figure 4)
