Installation

Continued

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 11, page 10. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate sediment 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 is not installed or is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

Install male connector and flex gas line to equipment shutoff valve through hole provided in rear surround as shown in Figure 11, page 10.

IMPORTANT: Hold the pressure regulator and connector with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings. Do not over tighten pipe connection to regulator. The regulator body could be damaged.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a noncorrosive leak detec- tion fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

CAUTION: For propane/LP gas, make sure external regula- tor has been installed between propane/LP supply and heater. See guidelines under Connect- ing to Gas Supply, page 9.

Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

2.Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was connected.

3.Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas or using compressed air.

4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system.

Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

5.Correct all leaks at once.

6.Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. Check reconnected fittings for leaks.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2

PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 12).

2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas or using compressed air.

3. Check all joints from gas meter for natural gas or propane/LP supply tank for propane/LP gas, to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 13 or 14, page 12). Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

4. Correct all leaks at once.

Pressure Testing Heater Gas

Connections

1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 12).

2. For natural gas open main gas valve located on or near gas meter. For propane/LP gas open propane/LP supply tank valve.

3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF position.

4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to thermostat gas valve (see Figure 13 or 14, page 12). Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.

5. Correct all leaks at once.

6. Light heater (see Operating Heater, this page). Check all other internal joints for leaks.

7. Turn off heater (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli- ance, page 13).

8. Install refractory and front panel.

1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance main gas valve (control valve) and equipment

Equipment
