STOVE AND BURNER SYSTEM INSTALLATION
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the burner system unit you are installing. If you have conflicting gas types, do not install burner system. See dealer where you purchased the stove and burner system for proper burner system according to your gas type. Conversion kits are also available for these models, see Accessories on page 38.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO STOVE/ BURNER SYSTEM LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified installer or service person must connect burner system to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect burner system directly to the propane/LP supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the burner system and propane/LP supply.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing stove and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below.
•external regulator (supplied by installer)
•piping (check local codes)
•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
•equipment shutoff valve *
•test gauge connection *
•sediment trap
•tee joint
•pipe wrench
•approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by lo- cal codes) (not provided)
*A CSA
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regu- lator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 42. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe.
Installation must include an equipment 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 burner system (see Figure 43).
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The main gas valve is for turning on and shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to stoves.
