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.)
A. Fuel Conversions
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Explosion Hazard.
High pressure will damage valve.
• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
above 1/2 psig.
• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
B. Gas Pressures
C. Gas Connection
WARNING
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfire
condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
Install regulator upstream of valve if
line pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance
performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made
following NFPA51.

NOTE:
Gas line
MUST
be run from right side of the

NOTE:
A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts ap-
proved) 1/2 inch (13mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve and

control valve inlet.
• If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
NOTE:
The gap between the supply piping and gas access
hole may be plugged with non-combustible un-faced
insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.

Before making gas connections ensure that appliance
being installed is compatible with the available gas type.
Any natural or propane gas conversions necessary to meet
the appliance and locality needs must be made by a quali-
fied technician using Hearth & Home Technologies speci-
fied and approved parts.
WARNING
Gas Leak Risk
• Support control when attaching pipe to
prevent bending gas line.
Optional:
A 5 foot flexible gas line is available to those
regions which do not require black pipe to be used. See
Service Parts List (Section 13).
These pressures can be verified through the internal valve
access panels as shown on the following page.
