• 8'' Adjustable Wrench
• 8'' Pipe Wrench
• 3/8'' Flexible Gas Line (24'' Min.) or 1/2'' Black Pipe
• 90 Deg. 3/8 NPT x 3/8'' Flare Fitting or 3/8'' Street Elbow
• Sealant (Resistant to Propane (LP) Gas)
• Shut Off Valve
1) A variety of options are possible for routing the Gas Connection Lines depending on where
your Gas Supply line is located. Install the 3/8'' Fitting to the Heater Regulator
using Sealant and direct the attachment and either left or right toward the Gas Supply Line.
2) Install the Gas Line to the 90 Deg. fitting and attach to the Shut Off Valve. It may be
necessary to cut and access hole in the side or bottom of the Mantel Cabinet depending on
your particular connection.
3) Check all connections for gas leaks.
NOTICE:
Most building codes do not permit concealed gas connections. Check
your local building code prior to using a Flexible Gas Line for this installation.
CAUTION
: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (PROPANE or NG). We
recommend that you install a sediment trap in a supply line. Locate sediment trap
where it is within reach for cleaning and not likely to freeze. Install in the piping
system between fuel supply and heater. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants.
This keeps them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is
installed incorrectly, heater may not run properly.
CAUTION
: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when
connecting into gas piping and/or fittings. NG Models: 6 in. to 7 in. W.C. Gas
supplier provides external regulator for natural gas.
