ADDITIONAL GAS SAFETY AND INSTALLATION WARNINGS
•
All gas connections should be made by a professional qualified technician and in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. The installation must conform to local codes.
•
Do not twist the gas supply hose.
•
Before each use, visually inspect the gas supply for cracks, cuts or excessive wear. Replace if necessary. Check
for gas leaks before each use.
•
Gas Specifications: Be sure that the gas supplied to the burner conforms to the model you purchased. A natural
gas burner requires natural gas to operate; LP gas is not allowed on this burner.
•
Never connect the burner to an unregulated gas supply line. Burners operated without regulation are unsafe
and should not be serviced until installed properly and safely. Unsafe operation will void the warranty of the
burner.
•
Fuel hoses are trip hazards.
CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY HOT SURFACE, SHARP OR ROUGH
EDGES, OR CONSTRUCTION. DO NOT KINK THE GAS LINE WHEN INSTALLING.
IMPORTANT:
Never connect the burner to an unregulated gas supply. The installation of this burner must conform to
local codes. A licensed contractor or local gas company representative must perform all natural gas connections. Ensure
that the service supplying the burner is fitted with a shut off valve conveniently positioned near the burner and giving
ease of access. The burner 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The burner and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system.
•
The minimum inlet natural gas supply pressure is 4” WC
•
The maximum inlet natural gas supply pressure is 10.5” WC
•
Refer to the NFPA 54 guidelines for details pertaining to gas pipe size. The natural gas supply line must
provide minimum inlet pressure while maintaining maximum flowrate (110K BTUs per hour). The minimum
natural gas supply pipe of 1/2 inch internal diameter may not be adequate. (Example: Extended gas runs.)
•
Input ratings shown in BTU per hour are appropriate for elevations at up to 2,000 feet. For higher elevations,
please refer to the national fuel gas code or contact the manufacturer prior to installing this product.
GAS LEAK WARNING
•
Finding and/or fixing a gas leak is NOT a “do-it-yourself” procedure – ONLY USE A PROFESSIONAL.
•
NEVER USE THE BURNER WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS, INCLUDING ALL OF THE
VALVES, FITTINGS, LINES ETC. (ANY GAS CONNECTION SHOULD BE CHECKED)
•
WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. USE OF AN OPEN FLAME COULD RESULT IN A FIRE,
EXPLOSION AND/OR BODILY HARM.
•
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING A LEAK TEST. Any open flame will ignite the gas.
•
Check to ensure that flexible hoses do not have any cuts and/or wear that may affect the safety before each use.
