Installation Items Needed

INSTALLATION

Continued

Before installing log set, make sure you have the items listed below.

•piping (check local codes)

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

•equipment shutoff valve*

•test gauge connection*

•adjustable (crescent) wrench or pliers

•sediment trap

•tee joint

•pipe wrench

•flexible gas line

*A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al- ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

For propane/LP units, 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" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install exter- nal regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 2, page 3. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

WARNING: Never connect

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 log set (see Figure 3, page 4).

IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to appliance.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in a clogged burner orifice.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 3, page 4. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into log set controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, log set may not run properly.

natural gas appliance to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

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 of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to log set. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.
