for more information on
Accessing the Control Compartment
.
NOTE:
All codes require a shutoff valve mounted in the supply line.
Figure 33
(

illustrates the method
for connecting the gas supply. The flex-line method is acceptable in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements
vary depending on locality. Installation must be in compliance with local codes. The provided gas-line shutoff
valve (located in the control compartment) is intended as a service shutoff. National and local codes may require
installation of a second gas-line shutoff valve (not provided) in a readily accessible location. Consult local codes. It
is the responsibility of the plumber to provide an accessible shutoff.
