• Check the gas type label to make sure that the unit was built for the type of gas you will be using ,
and that the gas inlet pressure is within the appropriate range.
•
Gas pressure below the specified range for the water heater and/or insufficient gas volume will
adversely affect performance
•
Inlet gas pressure must not exceed the
maximum values, gas pressure above the
specified range will cause dangerous operating
conditions and damage the unit
• Until testing of the main gas line supply
pressure is completed, ensure the gas line to
the water heater is disconnected to avoid any
damage to the water heater
• Always use approved connectors to connect the
unit to the gas line. Always purge the gas line of
any debris before connecting to the water heater.
•
Install a manual gas shut-off valve between the water heater and the gas supply line.
• The regulator is preset to factory standards. It is computer controlled and is not to be adjusted by any
person other than a licensed professional.
• When the gas connections are completed, perform a gas leak test either by applying soapy water
to
all gas fittings and observing for bubbles or by using a gas leak detection device.

SIZING AND CONNECTION SUITABILITY
1) Shut off the manual gas valve on the supply gas line.
2) Open a tap/outlet. The unit should turn on and the air in the gas pipeline should be purged
3) Leave the tap/outlet running until the unit shuts down due to lack of gas supply. Then turn off
the tap/outlet
4) Remove the screw on the
pressure port located on the
gas inlet of the water heater
shown in the diagram to the
right.
5) Connect the manometer to
the pressure port.
6) Re-open the manual gas valve. Check to see that there are no gas leaks.
7) Open some of the fixtures that use a high flow rate to turn on the water heater.
8) Check the inlet gas pressure in the position shown in the circle above. When the heater is at
maximum capacity, the gas pressure point must be within the appropriate range.
