The installation must conform with local codes 
or, in the absence of local codes, with the cur-
rent 

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54

. This appliance complies with 

ANSI 

Z21.50/CSA 2.22

.

  WARNING:  Installation  of 

this appliance should be done 

by  a  qualified  service  person 

well  trained  in  the  installation 

of  such  appliances.  You  will 

also need a building permit from 

your local Building and Safety 

Commissioner before installing 

this  appliance;  otherwise  your 

insurance co. may not cover this 

appliance.

NOTICE:  This  appliance  is  not 

intended to be used as a primary 

source of heat.

  CAUTION:  Do  not  connect 

appliance before pressure test

-

ing gas piping. Damage to gas 

valve may result and an un

safe 

condition may be caused.

The appliance and it’s individual shutoff valve 
must be disconnected from gas supply piping 
system  during  any  pressure  testing  of  that 
system  at  test  pressures  in  excess  of  1/2 
psig (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).
For  the  purpose  of  input  adjustment  two 
pressure  taps  (for  IN  and  OUT  pressures) 
are provided on the gas control valve for test 
gauge connections to the appliance.

Flush installations

 are recommended where 

living  space  is  limited  or  at  a  premium  and 
since the space required to enclose the ap-
pliance would be located beyond an outside 
wall,  this  would  also  reduce  the  cutting  of 
joists,  roof  rafters  and  such.  Check  local 
codes for any restrictions.

Projected  installations

  can  extend  any 

distance  into  the  room. A  projection  may 
be  ideal  for  a  new  addition  on  an  existing, 
finished wall.

Corner  installations

  make  use  of  space 

that may not normally be used and provides 
a wider and more efficient range for radiant 
heat transference.

Internal wall installations

 provide a discreet 

option for room separation and can also be 
ideal as an addition to an existing wall.

seleCtING loCatIoN

To  determine  the  safest  and  most  efficient 
location for your appliance, you must take into 
consideration the following guidelines:
1.  The location must allow for proper clear-

ances (see 

Clearances

, page 7).

2.  Consider  a  location  where  heat  output 

would not be affected by drafts, air con-
ditioning ducts, windows or doors.

3.  A location that avoids the cutting of joists 

or roof rafters will make installation easier. 
Figure 1 shows a plan view of a few com-
mon locations.
