STEP FOUR: GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
(ENSURE THAT GAS SUPPLY TO FIREPLACE IS OFF)
NOTE: If fittings do not come pre-wrapped with Teflon threaded tape, pipe compound MUST be applied to all tapered pipe
threads (except in #3 of Step 3) to prevent gas leaks. DO NOT use Teflon tape or pipe compound on
any
flared fitting threads.
1. Thread 1/2” FIP x 3/8” Flared Elbow (Figures 8 and 9A) onto the Gas Supply Pipe (Figures 8 and 9B) and wrench
tighten. If space between Gas Supply Pipe and Firebox floor allows, the flared end of the 1/2” FIP x 3/8”Elbow
should
face down. (Figure 9A)
2. With Burner Pan inside firebox at previously marked position thread one end of the Flex Connector (Figures 8 and
9C) to the 1/2” FIP x 3/8” Flared Elbow and wrench tighten. Do not use pipe compound or tape on
any
flared
threads.
3. Attach
Flex connector to the tapered end of the V17 valve (Figure 9D). Remember, If Flex Connector is bent into too small
of a radius it may kink or break causing air flow noise and/or gas leaks.
