1.
2. The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54 including:
a.
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of ½
psig (3.5 kPa).
b. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
system at test pressure equal or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
3. Local regulations governing gas appliance installations must be complied.
4. Equipment should be in an area with adequate ventilation.
5. Minimum spacing of 6” to combustible construction is required along back and side walls.
Clearance for noncombustible construction are the same as combustible clearances. For use
only on noncombustible surfaces.
6. Materials such as wood, compressed paper and plant fibers that will ignite and burn, must not
be exposed near the unit. Local safety codes should be complied with in respect to fire hazard
avoidance.
7. Use of the supplied pressure regulator is mandatory. Note that the use of 2 regulators may
cause
8. Keep the appliance area free and clear from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
9. Locate the appliance in a well ventilated area. Do not block or cover the opening between the
shroud and pot. Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation of air.
10. The unit must be installed with adequate clearance for servicing and proper operation.
11. If the unit is connected to a flexible gas line, the installation must be made with a connector
that complies with the Standard Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSIZ21.6, and a
Quick Disconnect device that complies with the standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use
with Gas Fuel ANSIZ21.41, and adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the
appliance without depending on connector and the Quick Disconnect Device or its associated
piping to limit movement of the appliance.
12. Before connecting gas check that gas valve is turned OFF (gas valve handle in the vertical
position).
13.
after testing. Do not use open flame for testing.
