GAS Connection, High Elevation | Waterford Appliances E61-NG

INSTALLATION

GAS CONNECTION

The Emerald Insert is factory equipped to burn Natural Gas, if necessary the unit can be converted to burn Propane by using Conver- sion Kit # 260-960. For minimum and maximum supply pressure see the System Data table on page 8.

Note: Prior to any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that exceeds test pressures of 1/2 psig, this appliance and its individ- ual shut-off valve must be discon- nected from the piping system. If test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig are used then this appliance must be isolated from the piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during the testing.

GAS CONNECTION WARNING:

Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance.

1)The gas inlet is located on the end of the flexible pipe that emerges from the lower left rear corner of the unit. The inlet fitting is a 1/2" female flare.

A separate gas shut-off valve and a 1/8" IPS plugged tapping should be installed immedi- ately upstream of the connection to the appliance.

2)The gas inlet is located on the end of the flexible pipe that emerges from the lower left rear corner of the unit. The inlet fitting is a 1/2" female flare.

A separate gas shut-off valve and a 1/8" IPS plugged tapping should be installed immedi- ately upstream of the connection to the appliance.

3)Locate the center point where the vent will pass through the chimney above the appli- ance. Move the appliance into the exact location where it is to be installed. Ensure that the Insert is level.

4)The gas control valve is provided with two "IN" and "OUT" pressure taps, and are easily accessible for a test gauge connec- tion (see diagram on page 12).

5)Once the gas has been connected ensure that the pilot valve is in line with burner.

CAUTION: If the door is removed or opened for servicing, it must be replaced and closed prior to operating the appli- ance. The glass must be fixed in the door when operating.

HIGH ELEVATION

This unit is approved in Canada (CAN/CGA- 2.17-M91) for altitudes to 2000 ft. (610m) using the factory -installed burner orifice. For instal- lations from 2000 ft (610m) to 4500 ft (1370m) the orifice sizes (DMS) for the Natural Gas and Propane units must be changed. See the rating plate for details. For installations above 4500 ft. refer to current ANSI Z223.1 Sc8-8.1.2a ap- pendix F or CAN/CGA-B149.1, for resizing orifice.

This appliance is designed to be attached to two 3" (76mm) co-linear aluminium flex running the full length of the chimney. The flue length must be a minimum length of 8' (2.44m) and a maxi- mum of 35' (10.7m). See chart for minimum distances from roof. Periodically check that the vent is unrestricted.

Masonry chimneys may take various contours which the flexible liner will accommodate. How- ever, keep the flexible liner as straight as possible, avoid unnecessary bending.
