INSTALLING THE BURNER
•
Refer to the nameplate. Verify the fuel type and pressure, which must match the nameplate
specifications. Connecting the burner to the wrong fuel type and/or pressure will compromise the safety
and/or performance of the appliance.
BE SURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
•
The burner must be placed in its final operational position and leveled front-to-back and side-to-side,
with a spirit level, prior to beginning the gas piping installation. Re-check the level of the unit at the
conclusion of the gas piping installation.
•
Each gas burner is supplied with a separate gas pressure regulator, which must be installed on the
manifold pipe protruding from the rear of the burner. Ensure that the regulator is installed such that the
flow arrow stamped on the body of the regulator points toward the burner. Failure to properly install the
supplied regulator will result in an extremely hazardous condition.
•
A moisture trap (drip leg) consisting of a tee, 4” nipple pointing down, and cap must be installed
upstream of the gas pressure regulator.
•
A manual gas shut-off valve may be required by local codes and is, in any case, strongly
recommended. The shut-off valve must be installed between the gas supply piping and the gas
pressure regulator.
o
It is the responsibility of the gas piping installer to identify the code requirement for a shut-off
valve.
•
Shut-off valves, moisture trap and all associated piping must be supplied by the gas piping installer.
