Installation Items Needed
Before installing the F ire Ribbon ,
make sure you have all items
listed bellow:
piping (check local codes)
sealant (resistant to propane/LP)
manual shutoff valve (included)
adjustable (crescent) wrench or
pliers
sediment trap
tee joints
pipe wrench
Installation must include a manual
shutoff valve, union, and plugged
1/8 ” NPT tap. Locate NPT tap
within reach for test gauge hook
up. NPT tap must be upstream
from the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to
male threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into
pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in a cl ogged burner injector.

as shown below. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for
cleaning and trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap
traps moisture and contamina nts.
This keeps them from going into
F ire Ribbon controls. If sediment
trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, unit may not run properly.
