INSTALLATION
6. Replace heater onto mounting bracket.
7. Place spacers between bottom mounting
holes and wall anchor or drilled hole.
8. Hold spacer in place with one hand. With
other hand, insert mounting screw though
bottom mounting hole and spacer. Place
tip of screw in opening of wall anchor or
drilled hole.
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice technician must connect
heater to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 3/8" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) inlet connection to
the pressure regulator.
WARNING: For natural gas,
Never connect heater to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This gas is
commonly known as wellhead gas.
WARNING: Do not over-
tighten gas connections.
CAUTION: Use only new, black
iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned
copper tubing may be used in
certain areas. Check your local
codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter
or greater to allow proper gas vol-
ume to heater. If pipe is too small,
undue loss of pressure will occur.
CAUTION: For natural gas,
check your gas line pressure
before connecting heater to gas
line. Gas line pressure must be
no greater than 9.5" of water. If
gas line pressure is higher, heater
regulator damage could occur.
CAUTION: For propane/
LP gas, Never connect heater
directly to the gas supply. This
heater requires an external regu-
lator (not supplied). Install the
external regulator between the
heater and gas supply.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to
regulator. Hold gas regulator
with wrench when connecting
into gas piping and/or fittings.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to gas
(Propane/LP or Natural Gas).
Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below:
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to natural gas and pro-
pane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve*
• test gauge connection*
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• flexible gas hose (check local codes)
• 3/8" NPT brass fitting
* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA design certified equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer.
9. Tighten both screws until heater is firmly
secured to wall. Do not over tighten.
Note: Do not replace front panel at this time.
Replace front panel after making gas connec-
tions and checking for leaks.
