The appliance and gas logs function as a system. If the appliance is not drafting properly and spilling into the
room (check with a match or a smoke stick), reposition the damper clamp until a positive draft is obtained
by opening the damper. If negative pressure in home prevents having a positive draft, consult an air quality
specialist.

or greater to allow the full volume of gas to the
appliance. The routing of the gas line has to be done to
local and / or national codes.

sediment trap upstream of the appliance within the
structures of the piping system.
E. When using propane, a regulator must be used between the tank and the outside wall of the house to
ensure the line pressure does not exceed 14” w.c.
F. Check gas connections with a gas detection device to test for leaks in the system. Soapy water
mixture can also be used to check for leaks.
