Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to
and after starting the appliance.
Before making the gas connection, ensure that the appliance
you are installing is designed for the type of gas being
supplied. This information can be found on the ratings label
under the appliance. If the appliance has been converted to
propane (LP), the valve cover should have a label stating
that the appliance has been converted to propane.
Connect the gas line at the 3/8 in. (10 mm) pipe connector
on the valve at the back of appliance. We recommend
connecting the appliance with an approved flex gas line.
If flex gas lines are not approved in your area, you must
connect a hard pipe to the gas hookup.
You must supply a manual shut-off valve in a visible location
within 3 ft. (914 mm) of the appliance.
Note:
Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with
local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI 223.1. Installation
should be done by a qualified installer approved and/or
licensed as required by the locality. (In the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts installation must be performed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter).
C. Gas Connection
Note:
A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved)
1/2 inch (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve and flexible
gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch (13 mm) control
valve inlet.
• If substituting for these components, please consult local
codes for compliance.
Gas Leak Risk
• Support control when attaching pipe to prevent
bending gas line.
Note:
The gap between supply piping and gas access hole may
be caulked with
caulk
with a minimum of 300ºF continuous
exposure rating
or stuffed with non-combustible, unfaced
insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.
Fire or Explosion Hazard
• Gas buildup during line purge may ignite.
• Purge should be performed by qualified technician.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Ensure there are no ignition sources such as
sparks or open flames.
• A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting appliance it will take a short time for air to
purge from lines. When purging is complete the appliance
will light and operate normally.
Air only needs to be purged again if gas valve has been
turned to the OFF position.
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS
Omni-Test Laboratories, Inc. listed gas appliances are tested
and approved without requiring changes for elevations from 0
to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and 0 to 4500 feet in Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 feet,
it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing
the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input rate should be
reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a 2000 foot elevation
in the U.S.A. If the heating value of the gas has been reduced,
these rules do not apply. To identify the proper orifice size,
check with the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet (in
Canada), check with local authorities.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
Explosion Risk
Fire Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
• Check all fittings and connections.
• Do not use open flame.
• After the gas line installation is complete, all
connections must be tightened and checked
for leaks with a commercially-available, non-
corrosive leak check solution. Be sure to rinse
off all leak check solution following testing.
Fittings and connections may have loosened
during shipping and handling.
