INSTALLATION cont.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Have your gas supplier or a qualifi ed gas fi tter run a gas supply line into the gas fi replace. The line
must be properly sized and fi tted according to the installation codes. This unit is equipped with a
manual shutoff ball valve.(
Fig. 11
) The outlet has a 1/2” female pipe thread.
THE APPLIANCE AND ITS INDIVIDUAL SHUTOFF VALVE MUST BE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY PRESSURE-TESTING OF THAT
SYSTEM AT TEST PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 1/2 PSI (3.5 KPA). THE APPLIANCE MUST
BE ISOLATED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM BY CLOSING ITS INDIVIDUAL
MANUAL SHUTOFF VALVE DURING ANY PRESSURE-TESTING OF THE GAS SUPPLY
PIPING SYSTEM AT TEST PRESSURES EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 1/2 PSIG (3.5 KPA).
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE’S GAS VALVE. SUCH DAMAGE IS
NOT COVER BY THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
• Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening
the set screw on supply pressure tap on the gas
valve with a small fl at tip screw driver and placing a
test gauge on the tap.
• The minimum permissible gas supply pressure
is 5.0 in. w.c. (1.24 kPa) for natural gas and
12.0 in. w.c. (3.0 kPa) for propane. Maximum
gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0
in. w.c. (3.48 kPa) or 1/2 psi. for both natural
gas and propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE
TAP SET SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE
PRESSURE.
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply
line, double check that the appliance you have
purchased is designed for the gas type you are
using. The gas type markings are located on the
certifi cation label and also on the appliance’s gas
valve.
Adequate clearance for proper installation and
checking of the gas connections must be provided.
All gas connections must be checked for gas
leaks.
