Gas Hookup
Fuel
Before making gas connections, ensure the appliance being installed is
compatible with the available gas type.
Gas Pressure
Proper input pressures are required for optimum performance. Gas line
sizing requirements need to be made following NFPA54.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfire condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
• Verify minimum pressures when other household gas
appliances are operating
Install regulator upstream of valve if line pressure is
greater than ½ PSI.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in table below. Minimum
pressures must be met when other household gas appliances are
operating.
Manifold Pressure
Natural Gas
Propane
Minimum Inlet Pressure
7 in w.c
11 in w.c
Maximum Inlet Pressure
10.5 in w.c
14 in w.c
The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressures in excess of
1
/
2
psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than
1
/
2
psi (3.5 kPa).
Gas Connection
Note: Have the gas supply installed in accordance with local building
codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI 223.1. Installation should be done
by a qualified installer approved and/or licensed as required by the
locality.(In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be
performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
Note: A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved)
3
/
8
in (9.5mm). T-handle manual shut-off valve and flexible gas
connector are connected to the
3
/
8
in (9.5mm) control valve inlet.
If substituting for these components, please consult local codes for
compliance.
Incoming gas line should be piped to the
3
/
8
in (9.5mm) connection on
the manual shutoff valve.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
• Gas build-up during line purge may ignite.
• Purge should be performed by qualified technician.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Ensure there are no ignition sources such as sparks or
open flames.
CAUTION: A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting appliance it will take a short time for air to purge from lines.
Subsequent lighting of the unit will not require such purging. Never allow
the ON/OFF valve to remain in the open position without pressing and
continuing to hold Ignitor button FIRST.
WARNING
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
• Check all fittings and connections.
• Do not use open flame.
• After the gas line installation is complete, all
connections must be tightened and checked for leaks
with a commercially available leak-check solution. Be
sure to rinse off all leak-check solution.
Fittings and connections may have loosened during
shipping and handling
