NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit con-
cealed gas connections. A flexible gas line is pro-
vided to allow accessibility from the fireplace (see
Figure 31). The flexible gas supply line connection to
the equipment shutoff valve should be accessible.

and/or fittings (Remote-Ready Models Only).
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as
shown in Figure 20, page 14. Locate sediment trap where it is within
reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and
heater. 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 controls. If sediment trap is not
installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.
