sory, install it now. Follow instructions in G8007
accessory kit.
CAUTION: Do not pick up
log base assembly by burner.
This could damage burner. Only
handle base by grates.
3. Route gas line (provided by installer) from
equipment shutoff valve to fireplace. Route
flexible gas supply line through one of the
access holes.
NOTICE: Most building codes
do not permit concealed gas
connections. A flexible gas line
is provided to allow accessibility
from the fireplace (see Figure 17).
The flexible gas supply line con-
nection to the equipment shutoff
valve should be accessible.
4. Attach the flexible gas line to gas supply (see
Figure 17). Check tightness of flexible gas
line attached to gas regulator of fireplace (see
Figure 17).
5. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, page 16.
6. Replace log base assembly back into fireplace.
Feed flexible gas line into fireplace base area
while replacing log base assembly. Make sure
the entire flexible gas line is in fireplace base
area. Reattach log base assembly to fireplace
with screws removed in step 2.

WARNING: Use pipe joint

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure 15, page 14. Locate
sediment trap where it is within reach for clean-
ing. Install in piping system between fuel supply
and fireplace. 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 gas controls. If sediment trap
is not installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may
not run properly.
