Installing Bottom Mounting Screws
1. Locate two bottom mounting holes. These
holes are near bottom on back panel of
heater (see Figure 12).
2. Mark screw locations on wall.
3. Remove heater from mounting bracket.
4. If installing bottom mounting screws into
hollow or solid wall, install wall anchors.
Follow steps 1 through 4 under
Attaching
To Wall Anchor Method
, page 10.
If installing bottom mounting screw into
wall stud, drill holes at marked locations
using 9/64" drill bit.
5. Replace heater onto mounting bracket.
6. Place spacers between bottom mounting
holes and wall anchor or drilled hole.
7. Hold spacer in place with one hand. With
other hand, insert mounting screw through
bottom mounting hole and spacer. Place
tip of screw in opening of wall anchor or
drilled hole.
8. Tighten both screws until heater is firmly
secured to wall. Do not over tighten.
Note:
Do not replace front panel at this
time. Replace front panel after making
gas connections and checking for leaks
(see pages 11 through 13).

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 3/8" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) inlet connection to
the pressure regulator.
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must connect heater
to gas supply. Follow all local
codes.
WARNING: For natural gas,
never connect heater to private (non-
utility) gas wells. This gas is com-
monly known as wellhead gas.
IMPORTANT:
For natural gas, check gas line
pressure before connecting heater to gas line.
Gas line pressure must be no greater than
10.5" of water. If gas line pressure is higher,
heater regulator damage could occur.
CAUTION: For propane/LP
gas, never connect heater directly
to the propane/LP supply. This
heater requires an external regu-
lator (not supplied). Install the
external regulator between the
heater and propane/LP supply.
For propane/LP gas, the installer must supply
an external regulator. The external regulator
will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must
reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11"
and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incom
-
ing gas pressure, heater regulator damage
could occur. Install the external regulator with
the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 13,
page 12. Pointing the vent down protects it
from freezing rain or sleet.
