DST Series
To connect the gas:
The DST series heater is equipped to connect to the corrugated stainless steel tube (CSST) flexible gas
connector (Included).
Do not connect the main gas line directly to the heaters gas inlet without the
use of the flexible connector. All piping must be installed in accordance with the requirements outlined
in the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI/Z223.1 (latest edition) or CSA-B149.1. Support all gas piping with
pipe hangers, metal strapping, or other suitable material. Do not rely on the heater to support the gas
pipe.
When connecting piping to the unit, the use of a thread joint compound is required. The thread compound
(pipe dope) shall be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gas or any other chemical constituents of
the gas to be conducted through piping. Use of Teflon
® tape is not permitted.
Connect the main gas supply line with an approved flexible connector or, if the authority having jurisdiction
requires rigid piping, the use of approved swing joints may be used. If swing joints are utilized, the heater
must be allowed to freely expand and contract without causing undue stress on the gas pipe.
The heater shall not be connected to the building piping system with rigid pipe or semi-rigid metallic tubing,
including copper. When using such material, an intermediate connection device that allows for the heater
expansion must be used.
The gas outlet must be in the same room as the appliance is installed, and must be accessible. It may not
be concealed within or run through any wall, floor, or partition. When installing the heater in a corrosive
environment (or near corrosive substances), use a gas connector suitable for the environment. Do not use
the gas piping to electrically ground the heater.
