Installation and Gas Connection
1. Place the burner pan assembly in the center of the replace
oor. Make sure the front of pan faces forward.
2. Thread the gas supply tting to the replace gas supply pipe.
Use thread sealant.
3. Install adapter tting onto the burner inlet tting using thread
sealant on male threads of burner inlet tting (see Fig. 5).
4. Install the gas connector tube to the gas supply tting.
Carefully shape tube to attach to adapter tting.
CONNECTION TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualied service person must connect log set to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
INSTALLTION ITEMS NEEDED
Before installing log set, make sure you have the items listed below.
● piping (check local codes)
● sealant (resistant to natural gas)
● equipment shutoff valve
● test gauge connection
● adjustable (crescent) wrench or pliers
● sediment trap
● tee joint
● pipe wrench
CAUTION: Only use a 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 in. diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to log set. If pipe is too small, loss of pressure
will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8 in. NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test
gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from log set (see Fig. 6).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or
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 sediment trap in supply line as shown in Fig. 6. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate
sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them
from going into log set controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed incorrectly, log set may not run properly.
