To install the gas line, start by removing the existing cap from the gas valve and cleaning the area. You can, if necessary expand the wall hole to accommodate the larger diameter pipe. After the gas line is installed, screw the tube or connector into the valve. Don't overtighten the threads.
Once you're done then tighten the screw of the green ground terminal ring for the wire. Insert the screw into the terminal block and connect the other end of the cable to the white wire on the terminal block, matching up the wire colors (red to red and black to black). Connect the ring again and secure it with strain relief.
