3. gas Information
a. Fuel
Before making gas connections ensure appliance
being installed is compatible with the available
gas type.
B. gas Pressure
Proper input pressures are required for optimum
appliance performance. Gas line sizing require-
ments need to be made following NFPA54.

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 1/2 psig.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown
in table below. Minimum pressures must be met
when other household gas appliances are oper-
ating.

The appliance and its individual shutoff valve
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 sup-
ply piping system by closing its individual manu-
al shutoff valve during any pressure testing to the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
C. gas Connection
NOTE:
Have the gas supply line 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 3/8 inch T-handle manual shut-off valve
and flexible gas connector are connected to the 3/8
inch control valve inlet.
If substituting for these components, please con-
sult local codes for compliance.

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, non-corrosive leak check solu-
tion. Be sure to rinse off all leak check
solution following testing.
Fittings and connections may have loos-
ened during shipping and handling.
Incoming gas line should be piped to the 3/8 inch
connection on the manual shutoff valve.
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 with out pressing and continu-
ing to hold igniter button FIRST.
