TROUBLESHOOTING VENTING PROBLEMS
Continued
Down Drafts
In certain wind conditions and in certain rela-
tionships with nearby structures and objects,
high pressure conditions may affect draft
negatively. Relocate the vent cap, raise its
height, or use an approved high wind cap.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This burner system is
intended for use as supplemen
-
tal heat. Use this burner system
along with your primary heating
system. Do not install this stove
and burner system as your pri
-
mary heat source. If you have a
central heating system, you may
run system’s circulating blower
while using heater. This will help
circulate the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this burner
system as your primary heat
source.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the burner system unit
you are installing. If you have conflicting gas
types, do not install burner system. See dealer
where you purchased the stove and burner
system for proper burner system according
to your gas type. Conversion kits are also
available for these models, see
Accessories
on page 29.
IMPORTANT:
If installing gas conversion
kit, do so at this time. Be sure to follow all
installation instructions included with conver-
sion kit.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO STOVE
LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified in
-
staller or service person must
connect burner system to gas
supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP
units, never connect burner
system directly to the propane/
LP supply. This burner system
requires an external regulator
(not supplied). Install the external
regulator between the burner
system and propane/LP supply.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing stove and burner system,
make sure you have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas con
-
nector (if allowed by local codes) (not
provided)
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT
tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff
valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer
must supply an external regulator. The exter-
nal regulator will reduce incoming gas pres-
sure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure
to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not
reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regula-
tor damage could occur. Install external regu-
lator with the vent pointing down as shown in
Figure 14, page 14. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
