ignite.
• Purge should be performed by qualified
technician.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Ensure there are no ignition sources such
as sparks or open flames.
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.
WARNING

• After the gas line installation is complete,
all connections must be tightened and
checked for leaks with a commercially
available, non-corrosive leak check
solution. Be sure to rinse off all leak check
