Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or gas supplier.
In Massachusetts installation must
be performed by a licensed
plumber/gas fitter.
This appliance must be installed
with its own shut off valve and the
included gas pressure regulator.
Both the valve and the regulator
must be easily accessible to the
consumer to turn on or shut off the
gas supply after the appliance is
installed.
This appliance and its individual
shut off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply during any
pressure testing of that system
performed in excess of ½ psi
(3.5 kPa). The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply line by
closing its individual manual shut off
valve at test pressures equal to or
less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Any pipe connections must be
made using a thread sealant
approved for gas connections.
Failure to correctly install these
items could lead to a gas leak and
subsequent explosion.
Leak testing of the appliance shall
be conducted according to the
