CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

NOTICE: A qualified service per- son must connect CO2 generator to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: (Propane/LP Only) Never connect appliance directly to the propane/LP supply. This appliance requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the appliance and propane/LP supply.

Propane/LP Only: The installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to be- tween 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, appli- ance regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 12. Pointing the

WARNING: Never connect appliance to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

Natural Gas Only: IMPORTANT: Check gas line pressure before connecting appliance to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater than 10.5 inches of water. If gas line pres- sure is higher, appliance regulator damage could occur. Minimum inlet pressure shall be no less than 4 inches of water.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Inter- nally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to appliance. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

Installation must include a manual shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from appliance (see Figure 13).

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged appliance valves.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal- ant that is resistant to liquid pe- troleum (LP) gas.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 13. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate sedi- ment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into appliance controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, appliance may not run properly.

IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas pip- ing and/or fittings.

vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet. Minimum inlet pressure shall be no less than 11 inches of water.
