Once the gas line is installed, you can screw the connector or tube into the valve. Be careful not to tighten too much or you risk damaging the threads.

The screw should be inserted back into the terminal block and connect the opposite end of the cable to the white wire on the terminal block, making sure that you match the wire colors (red to red and black to black). Then, re-insert the ring and secure the cord with the strain relief that comes with it.
