stub using a pipe compound resistant to all gases. Ensure adapter (and nut) are tightened securely.
Ensure the pan rests level on the fi replace fl oor after connection. Adjust the pan if necessary.
9. LEAK TEST: Turn on the fi replace gas supply, and test at all connections for leaks using the appropriate
soapy water solution. If bubbles appear, a leak is present. Turn off the gas and tighten at all connections.
Repeat until no leaks are present. If a leak persists, turn off the gas supply and contact the local gas
company or dealer. NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
Turn off the gas supply prior to proceeding.
10. Place the heatshield over the regulator and/or valve.

remote) for complete remote installation.
GRANULE, EMBER, AND GRATE PLACEMENT
GRANULE PLACEMENT
The granules supplied with the unit are specially selected for
use with either propane gas or natural gas. They maximize
fl ame distribution and reduce carbon buildup.
1. Fill the burner pan completely with the granules*. See Fig.
12-1. Avoid spilling the granules on the pilot kit.
*Note: Use only select sand for natural gas burners and
vermiculite for propane gas burners.
2. Slope the granules at the same angle as the burner pan.
This is important to ensure quiet lighting and even fl ame
distribution.
EMBER PLACEMENT
Sprinkle the glowing embers lightly and evenly over the entire surface of the granules. Break up any clumps
that may have developed during shipment. (For Charred series log sets, refer to OPTIONAL CHARRED
SERIES INSTALLATION section.)
Important: Do not add any additional embers to this log set. Any additional embers may cause
unsafe operation.
GRATE PLACEMENT
Replace the grate so that the bottom tabs on the log locator brackets fi t over the back edge of the pan,
locking it in position.
