MASSACHUSETTS REQUIREMENTS
The gas stove is shipped with a 3/8” NPT female connection. The gas supply piping should have
a separate gas shutoff valve and a 1/8” NPT plugged tapping upstream of the valve. The stove
and its main control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The stove must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the main control valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). After the
gas supply has been connected, use a commercial gas leak detector or apply a soapy water solu-
tion to all the fittings to check for gas leaks. Never use a flame to test for leaks.

This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If this appliance is installed in a dwelling, building or structure
used in whole or in part for residential purposes and the installation includes a horizontal vent
termination that is less than seven (7) feet above the finished grade in the area of the venting,
including but not limited to decks and porches, a hard-wired carbon monoxide detector with an
alarm and battery back-up must be installed on the floor level of the dwelling, building or struc-
ture where the appliance is to be installed.
Additionally, a hard-wired or battery operated carbon monoxide detector with an alarm must be
installed on each additional level of the dwelling, building or structure served by the appliance.
It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to secure the services of qualified licensed
professionals for the installation of hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors.
In the event that the horizontally vented appliance is installed in a crawl space or attic, the hard-
wired carbon monoxide detector with alarm and battery back-up may be installed on the next
adjacent floor level.
In the event that this requirement cannot be met at the time of completion of the installation of
the appliance, the owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply with the requirement.
However, during said thirty
(30) day period, a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with alarm must be installed.
Each carbon monoxide detector as required in accordance with the above provisions must com-
ply with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL 2034 and IAS certified.
In addition when the stove is horizontally vented and the vent termination is less than seven (7)
feet above finished grade a metal or plastic identification plate must be permanently mounted
to the exterior of the building at a minimum height of eight (8) feet above grade directly in line
with the exhaust vent terminal. The sign shall read, in print size no less than one-half (1/2) inch
in size, “GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS”.
A COPY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS PLUS ALL VENTING INSTRUCTIONS WHICH INCLUDE PARTS
