Connecting Gas Line, Valve | Lennox Hearth E36ODGPE-H, E42ODGNE-H

Connecting Gas Line

Codes require a shut-off valve mounted in the supply line. Figure 12 illustrates two methods 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.

These appliances are equipped with a gas flex line for use (where permitted) in connecting the unit to the gas line. A gas flex line is provided to aid in attaching the direct vent appliance to the gas supply. The gas flex line can only be used where local codes permit. See Figure 12 for flex line description. The flex line is rated for both natural and propane gas. A manual shut off valve is also provided with the flex line.

The gas control valve is located under the refractory cover in front of the burner.

To access the valve, lift out the center refrac- tory and remove the access cover (see Figure

13).

The control valves have a 3/8" (10 mm) NPT thread inlet port.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane resistant compounds are used in propane applications).

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, us- ing a gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble leak solution). Note: Using a soapy water solution (50% dish soap, 50% water) is an effective leak test solution but it is not recommended, because the soap residue that is left on the pies/fittings can result in corro- sion over time. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting instructions label in the control compartment or in the Homeowner's Care and Operation Instructions).

B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking connection and retest as described above.

C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.
