A. Fuel Conversion
Before making gas connections ensure appliance being in-
stalled 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-
fi
ed technician using Hearth & Home Technologies speci
fi
ed
and approved parts.
B. Gas Pressure
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance
performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made
following
NFPA51
.
C. Gas Connection
Refer to Reference Section 16 for location of gas line access
in 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 quali
fi
ed 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
fi
tter.)
Note:
A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts
approved) 1/2 in. (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve
and
fl
exible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 in.
(13 mm) control valve inlet.
• If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in table be-
low. Minimum pressures must be met when other household
gas appliances are operating.

WARNING
Gas Leak Risk
• Support control when attaching pipe to
prevent bending gas line.
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfire
condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
• Verify minimum pressures when other
household gas appliances are operating.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line
pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.

Gas Information
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
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.
WARNING
Note:
Gas line may be run from either side of appliance
using one of the knockouts provided. Hole in outer shell
NOT to exceed 2-1/2 in. and should never penetrate the
fi
rebox.
Note:
The gap between supply piping and gas access hole
may be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed
with non-combustible, unfaced insulation to prevent cold
air in
fi
ltration.
