To install the gas line, start by removing the cap from the gas valve and then cleaning the area. You can, if necessary expand the wall hole to accommodate the larger diameter pipe. Once the gas line is installed then screw the tube or connector into the valve. Do not overtighten the threads.

Insert the screw into the terminal block and connect the opposite end of the cable to the white wire on the terminal block, matching up the wire colors (red to red and black to black). Then, re-insert it into the ring and secure the cord with the strain relief included.
