INSTALLATION

Continued

IMPORTANT:

  Install  an  equipment  shutoff 

valve  in  an  accessible  location.  The  equip-
ment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting 
off the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT 
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from 
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could 
result in clogged heater valves.

  WARNING:  Use  pipe  joint 

sealant that is resistant to liquid 

petroleum (LP) gas.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown 
in Figure 17, page 12. Locate sediment trap 
where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate 
sediment  trap  where  trapped  matter  is  not 
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps mois-
ture and contaminants. This keeps them from 
going into heater controls. If sediment trap is 
not installed or is installed wrong, heater may 
not run properly.

IMPORTANT:

  Hold  the  pressure  regulator 

with  wrench  when  connecting  it to gas pip-
ing and/or fittings. Do not over tighten pipe 
connection to regulator. The regulator body 
could be damaged.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

 WARNING: Test all gas piping 

and  connections,  internal  and 

external to unit, for leaks after 

installing or servicing. Correct 

all leaks at once.

  WARNING:  Never  use  an 

open flame to check for a leak. 

Apply a noncorrosive leak detec

-

tion fluid to all joints. Bubbles 

forming show a leak. Correct all 

leaks at once.

  CAUTION:  For  propane/LP 

gas, make sure external regula

-

tor has been installed between 

propane/LP supply and heater. 

See guidelines under 

Connect-

ing to Gas Supply

, page 12.

PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY 
PIPING SYSTEM

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG 
(3.5 kPa)

1.  Disconnect  appliance  with  its  appliance 

main gas valve (control valve) and equip-
ment shutoff valve from gas supply piping 
system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig 
will damage heater regulator.

2.  Cap off open end of gas pipe where equip-

ment shutoff valve was connected.

3.  Pressurize supply piping system by either 

opening  propane/LP  supply  tank  valve 
for propane/LP gas or opening main gas 
valve  located  on  or  near  gas  meter  for 
natural gas or using compressed air.

4.  Check all joints of gas supply piping sys-

tem. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection 
fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a 
leak.

5.  Correct all leaks at once.
6.  Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff 

valve to gas supply. Check reconnected 
fittings for leaks.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.  Close  equipment  shutoff  valve  (see 

Figure 18).

2.  Pressurize supply piping system by either 

opening  propane/LP  supply  tank  valve 
for propane/LP gas or opening main gas 
valve  located  on  or  near  gas  meter  for 
natural gas or using compressed air.

3.  Check all joints from gas meter for natural 

gas (see Figure 19) or propane/LP supply 
tank  for  propane/LP  gas,  to  equipment 
shutoff  valve  (see  Figure  20). Apply  a 
noncorrosive  leak  detection  fluid  to  all 
joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

4.  Correct all leaks at once.
