HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY
STEP 6:
HOOK-UP
A manual shut-off valve must be installed
external to the appliance, in an accessible
location from the front, for the purpose of
shutting off the gas supply. Make sure the gas
supply is turned off at the wall valve before
connecting the appliance. The gas supply
connections should be made by a qualified
technician and in accordance with local code or
ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the
installation must conform to the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI 223.1-1988, latest edition.
To prepare the unit for connection to the gas
supply, thread the supplied 1/2” pipe nipple into
the elbow on the end of the manifold. The elbow
is located inside the chassis of the unit, on the
end of the manifold, facing down. See Fig. 9. It
is accessible through the square cutout in the
left rear corner of the chassis bottom.
Connect the outlet of the regulator to the
exposed end of the nipple, connect the flex line
from the gas supply to the inlet side of the
regulator. Apply Teflon tape to threads
NOTE: The arrow on the regulator indicating
direction of gas flow should be pointing
towards the unit. The flex line for the gas
supply must be metal and be approved by an
approved certifying agency (AGA, CGA,or
UL.). Never use a hose made of rubber or
other synthetic material, as the heat may
cause the hose to melt and develop leaks.
CAUTION:
The appliance must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5kPa.) The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at
the test pressure in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). When checking the manifold gas
pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0” W.C. for
natural gas or 12.0” for LP.
