CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

Installation Items Needed

Before installing appliance, make sure your installer has the items listed below.

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas) (May be pipe dope or Teflon tape)

• equipment shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

• adjustable (crescent) wrench or pliers

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

• brass fitting(s) (depending upon gas supply plumbing)

* An CSA/AGA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA/AGA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessory, page 10.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to appliance. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from appliance (see Figure 3).

IMPORTANT:

valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on and shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in a clogged burner injector.

Install equipment shutoff

CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 3. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and patio firepit. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into appliance controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, appliance may not run properly.
