There are many concerns on installing gas logs fireplace. Thus, this post will present steps to installing gas logs in your fireplace:
The first step is to get your gas logs. I recommend that you get them on the internet because it is cheaper to buy online. But if you are in a hurry though, you can always buy at the nearest Home Depot. The gas log set must have a perforated pipe to distribute the gas and a rack to hold the logs.

Make sure that you have a gas pipe in your fireplace. If not, find the nearest gas pipe to the fireplace. Put the pipe and the log rack in the middle of the fireplace. From there, you will be able to estimate how much pipe you will need. You will also find the right fittings to connect the perforated pipe to the source of the gas.

This is an optional step. You can also purchase gas pilot lights so you do not need to light a match every time you need to light the logs. You can install these pilot lights on the side of the fireplace like the way the gas line comes into the fireplace. I strongly suggest the simple pilot. This makes the lighting of the logs a simple task of merely turning the knob.

The next step is to connect the gas line to the pilot and the perforated pipe under the log rack. There is a metal tube from the pilot base to the pilot bracket. Connect the pilot bracket to the end of the perforated pipe. Refer to the instructions with the pilot unit for more details.

Use the yellow gas tape when sealing the joints. Before you light the pilot, make sure to check for gas leaks. Drip soapy water on all the joints and turn on the gas. If you have already checked all the pipes for leaks, light the pilot. Then, turn on the gas to the perforated pipe. You will only be ready to place the logs when the pipe lights evenly.
Most logs come with simulated ashes. You can now spread the ashes around. Just follow the manufacturer’s instructions for scattering the ashes. This provides a real atmosphere when you heat up the fireplace already.

Onto the rack, place the logs. Stack them to your liking and you are done installing your gas logs for the fireplace.
