Gas  line  hook  up  should  be  done  by  your
supplier or a qualified service person.
Note:  Before  you  proceed,  make  sure  your
gas supply is turned off.
Use only a 1/2" black iron pipe and appropri-
ate fittings.
1.  Remove knockout indentation on refracto-

ry or firebrick wall located above refractory
hearth floor. Knockout indentation must
be firmly tapped with any solid object,
such as a 1/2" dowel, until it is released.
Remove fragmented portions of refractory
(see Figure 21).

2. Remove gas line cover plate located on

either side of fireplace and pull out insu-
lation from gas line conduit sleeve. Save
insulation for reuse.

3. Run a 1/2" black iron gas line into fire-

place  through  rear  at  gas  line  conduit
sleeve  (if  using  a  raised  platform,  add
height).  Provide  sufficient  gas  line  into
fireplace chamber for fitting connection
(see Figure 22).

Note: Secure incoming gas line to wood
framing to provide rigidity for threaded
end.

4. Repack insulation around gas line and into

sleeve opening. Seal any gaps between
gas line and refractory knockout hole with
refractory cement or commercial furnace
cement. Install gas appliance or cap off
gas line if desired.

CAUTION: All gas piping and

connections must be tested for

leaks after installation is com-

pleted. After ensuring that gas

valve is on, apply soap and water

solution to all connections and

joints. Bubbles forming show a

leak. Correct all leaks at once.

DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME

TESTING SHOULD BE DONE

BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE

PERSON.
