Pressure Testing Heater Gas Connections
1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 10).
2. Open gas supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF position.
4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to control valve
(Figure 11). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak
5. Correct all leaks immediately.
6. Light heater (see
Operating
, page 15).Check all other internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off heater (see
“
To Turn Off Gas Appliance,
”
page 13).
CAUTION:
Make sure external regulator has been installed
between gas supply and heater. See guidelines under
“
Connecting to Gas
Supply
”
(page 8).
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 10).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or
opening gas supply tank valve.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (see
Figure 11). Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas joints.
Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks immediately.
FASTENING HEATER TO WALL
Mounting Bracket
The mounting bracket is located on back panel of heater (see Figure 12).
It has been taped there for shipping. Remove mounting bracket from
back panel.
Methods For Attaching Mounting Bracket To Wall
Use only the holes provided in mounting bracket to attach bracket to
wall. Attach mounting bracket to wall only in one of two ways:
1. To wall stud
2. To wall anchor
Attaching to Wall Stud: This method provides the strongest hold.
Insert mounting screws through mounting bracket and into wall
studs.
Attaching to Wall Anchor: This method allows you to attach
mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall areas between studs)
or to solid walls (concrete or masonry). Decide which method
better suits your needs. Either method will provide a secure
hold for the mounting bracket.
