.

 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 Commission

-

er before installing this appliance;

ing gas piping. Damage to gas 

valve may result and an unsafe 

condition may be caused.

The appliance and it’s individual shutoff valve 
must  be  disconnected  from  the  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.

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.

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.
