Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Lo-
cate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook
up. NPT tap must be upstream from replace
(see Figure 31).
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equip-
ment shutoff valve) in an accessible location.
The main gas valve is for turning on or shutting
off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special
requirements for locating equipment shutoff
valve to replaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged replace valves.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure
31. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping sys-
tem between fuel supply and replace. Locate
sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter
is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps
moisture and contaminants. This keeps them
from going into replace gas controls. If sedi-
ment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed
wrong, replace may not run properly.

Installation Items Needed
• 5/16" hex socket wrench or nut-driver
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas, not
provided)
1. Open lower louver door panel by gently
pulling forward.
2. Route exible gas line (provided by in-
staller) from equipment shutoff valve to
replace. Route exible gas supply line
through one of the access holes on side
of replace.
3. Attach exible gas line from gas supply to
control valve (see Figure 32).
4. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections.
