Installation must include a manual
shutoff valve, union, and plugged
1/8” NPT tap. Locate NPT tap
within reach for test gauge hook
up. NPT tap must be upstream
from the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to
male threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into
pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in a clogged burner injector.
Install sediment trap in supply line
as shown below. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for
cleaning and trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap

WARNING:
A qualified
service person must con-

CAUTION:
Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe.
Internally tinned copper
tubing may be used in
certain areas. Use pipe of

WARNING:
Test all gas
piping and connections for
leaks after installing or
servicing. Correct all leaks
at once.
WARNING:
Never use an
open flame to check for a
leak. Apply a mixture of
liquid soap and water on all

The appliance and its individual
shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or
less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
