Installation Items Needed
• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver
• Phillips screwdriver
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not provided)
1.
Remove fireplace insert screen. Remove two screws that hold
fireplace insert screen in place for shipping. These screws are
located near top of screen. Discard screws. Lift fireplace in-
sert screen up and pull out to remove.
2.
Remove screws that attach log base assembly to fireplace in-
sert (see Figure 19). Carefully lift up log base assembly and
remove from fireplace insert (see Figure 19).
Note:
If adding the G8010 series brick liner accessory, install it
now. Follow instructions in G8010 accessory kit.
CAUTION: Do not pick up log base assembly by
burners. This could damage burners. Only handle
base by grates.
NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit con-
cealed gas connections. A flexible gas line is pro-
vided to allow accessibility from the fireplace (see
Figure 20). The flexible gas supply line connection to
the equipment shutoff valve should be accessible.
3.
Route gas supply line through access opening of fireplace in-
sert (see Figure 19).
4.
Connect gas supply line to flexible gas line attached to gas
regulator of fireplace insert (see Figure 20). Use sealant on all
male pipe threads.
5.
Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Con-
nections, page 13.
6.
Replace log base assembly back into fireplace insert. Feed flex-
ible gas line into fireplace insert base area while replacing log
base assembly. Make sure the entire flexible gas line is in fire-
place insert base area. Reattach log base assembly to fireplace
insert with screws removed in step 2.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as
shown in Figure 18. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for
cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater.
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 insert gas controls. If sediment trap is not
installed or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.
