FOR LP models
The installer must supply an external
regulator. The external regulator will
reduce incoming gas pressure. You
must reduce incoming gas pressure
to between 11 to 14
"
inches of water.
If you do not reduce incoming gas
pressure, heater regulator damage
could occur. lnstall external regulator
with the vent pointing down as shown
in Figure 6. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
* Purchase the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from
your dealer. See
Accessories
, page 13.
* Minimum inlet pressure for purpose of input adjustment.
