For your safety this heater is equipped with a
flue safety switch designed to sense incorrect
flueing and react by shutting down the gas sup
-
ply. This thermally actuated switch is located
within the draft diverter and will detect either a
blocked chimney or backdraft condition where the
chimney flow has reversed. If this switch shuts
the unit down, it indicates a drafting problem that
must be identified and rectified without delay -
the thermally activated switch must
never
be
bypassed or disconnected as a hazardous or
deadly condition can result.
Flueing Requirements
A 100 mm diameter flue is required. For cosmetic
or aesthetic purposes 5" or 6" outer flue can
be used as long as an approved inner flue is
installed. Fasten but do not penetrate the inner
sleeve of the flue when tightening the screw.
GAS CONNECTION
The gas line can be rigid pipe, or to make in
-
stallation easier, use a listed flexible connector
if allowed by local codes. Copper may also be
used if approved by local codes.
The gas connection at the valve is 1/2 inch BSP.
For minimum and maximum supply pressure see
the System Data Table.
GAS PIPE PRESSURE
TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kpa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures
over 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked
at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure, both
inlet and manifold pressures should
be checked using the valve pressure
ports on the valve.
1)
Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.
2)
Loosen the "IN" (# 7) and/or "OUT" (# 6)
pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise
with a 1/8" wide flat screwdriver.
3)
Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"

4)
Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position.
5)
The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specified on the safety
label.
6)
When finished reading manometer, turn
off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" flat
screwdriver.
Screw should be snug, but do
not over tighten.
