Vermont Casting BHDR36 GAS Line Installation, Remote Switch Installation For RN/RP

GAS LINE INSTALLATION

When purging gas line the front glass must be removed.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right side, left side of the appliance as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided at convenient locations to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the right side, as this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting the gas line.

The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 3/8" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector.

Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.

The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so that gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See Fig. 7. See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.

The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.
