WARNING:
A qualified service technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
WARNING:
This appliance requires a 3/8-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure
regulator.
WARNING:
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-in. diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is
too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.
CAUTION:
Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (Propane or Natural Gas).
Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters
Use 3/8-inch black iron pipe or greater. Installation must include
an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8-inch NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge
hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure 12).
IMPORTANT:
Install an equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is
for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
NATURAL GAS MODELS:
CAUTION:
Check your gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no
greater than 10.5 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator damage could occur.
PROPANE MODELS:
CAUTION:
Never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external regulator (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.
