46 Connecting the Gas Supply
WARNING
●
Before connecting the gas supply, determine the gas type
and pressure for the boiler by referring to the rating plate. Use
only the same gas type indicated on the rating plate. Using
a different gas type will result in abnormal combustion and
malfunction of the boiler. Gas supplies should be connected
by a licensed professional only.
●
The appliance and its gas connection must be leak tested
before placing the appliance in operation.
●
This boiler cannot be converted from natural gas to propane
or vice versa without a Navien gas conversion kit. Do not
attempt a field conversion of this boiler without a Navien gas
conversion kit. Doing so will result in dangerous operating
conditions and will void the warranty.
Navien recommends connecting the boiler as the first device
downstream of the gas meter, to ensure a sufficient gas supply.
The boiler is
recommended to be
the first appliance to
be connected to the
gas supply line.
