Gas Line Requirements
The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1 and
the requirements listed below.
A manual shutoff valve is required within 3’ of the heater. It should be placed upstream of the flex line
(if used) and may be installed behind the access door inside the heater. ).
The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig,
isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the heater.
This heater is designed either for natural gas or for propane (but not for both). Check the sticker on
the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used (see illustration on page 4).
Installation must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier (In
Massachusetts a licensed plumber/gasfitter).
Gas Line Location
Gas Inlet Pressure
Standard Input Pressure
Natural Gas
7" W.C. (1.74 kPA)
Propane
13" W.C. (2.73 kPA)
If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is
adequately adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank)
should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the
regulator is at an improper pressure.
Electrical Connection
Route the power cord out of the access hole on the right side of the appliance.
Plug the power cord into a grounded 240 Volt outlet (do not remove the grounding pin).
The electrical connection may also be made using the optional Wiring Kit (SKU 97200315).
The gas inlet
accepts a 1/2" MPT.
