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 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 sup-
ply 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 consider-
ation the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances
(see
Clearances,
page 7).
2. Consider a location where heat output would
not be affected by drafts, air conditioning
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 common
locations.
Flush installations
are recommended where
living space is limited or at a premium and since
the space required to enclose the appliance 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 transfer-
ence.
Internal wall installations
provide a discreet
option for room separation and can also be ideal
as an addition to an existing wall.
