INSTALLATION

Continued

4.

If installing bottom mounting screw into

 

hollow or solid wall, install wall anchor.

 

Follow steps 1 through 4 under Attach-

 

ing To Wall Anchor Method, page 8. If

 

installing bottom mounting screw into

 

wall stud, drill holes at marked loca-

 

tions using 9/64" drill bit.

5.

Replace heater onto mounting bracket.

The installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure between 11 and 14 inches of water. If youdonotreduceincominggaspressure,heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 13. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

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 3/8" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

6.

Place spacer between bottom mount-

 

ing hole and wall anchor or drilled hole.

7.

Hold spacer in place with one hand.

 

With other hand, insert mounting screw

 

through bottom mounting hole and

 

spacer. Place tip of screw in opening

 

of wall anchor or drilled hole.

8.

Tighten screw until heater is firmly secured

 

to wall. Do not over tighten. Note: Do not

 

replace front panel at this time. Replace

 

front panel after making gas connections

 

and checking for leaks. (see page 10).

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: This appliance re- quires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator.

WARNING: A qualified service person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION:Neverconnectheater directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

 

 

 

Installation must include an equipment

Down

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 heater valves.

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown

 

 

 

 

 

 

in Figure 14. 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 heater controls. If sediment trap
