CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 1/2" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) inlet connection to
the pressure regulator.
WARNING: A qualified service
person must connect heater to gas
supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect
propane/LP fireplace 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.
WARNING: Never connect
natural gas fireplace to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This
gas is commonly known as
wellhead gas.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing heater, make sure you have the
items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve
with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to
test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA
design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your
dealer. See
Accessories
, page 31.
For propane/LP units, 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 incoming gas pres
-
sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down as
shown in Figure 15, page 14. Pointing the vent
down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
