Hearth and Home Technologies PALOMA-BL, PALOMA-GR, PALOMA-BZ Gas Connection, Check for GAS Leaks

If the pressure is not sufficient, ensure:

The piping used is large enough.

The supply regulator is adequately adjusted.

That the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.

The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.

D. Gas Connection

Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI

223.1.Installation should be done by a qualified installer approved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter).

Note: A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts ap- proved) 1/2 inch (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve and flexible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch (13 mm) control valve inlet.

If substituting for these components, please consult local codes for compliance.

WARNING

Gas Leak Risk

Support control when attaching pipe to prevent bending gas line.

Note: The gap between supply piping and gas access hole may be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with non-combustible, unfaced insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.

Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the appliance.

Before making the gas connection, ensure that the appliance you are installing is designed for the type of gas being supplied. This information can be found on the ratings label under the appliance. If the appliance has been converted to propane (LP), the valve cover should have a label stating that the appliance has been converted to propane.

Connect the gas line at the 3/8 in. (10 mm) pipe connector on the valve at the back of appliance. We recommend connecting the appliance with an approved flex gas line. If flex gas lines are not approved in your area, you must connect a hard pipe to the gas hookup.

You must supply a manual shut-off valve in a visible location within 3 ft. (914 mm) of the appliance.

WARNING

Fire or Explosion Hazard

Gas buildup during line purge may ignite.

Purge should be performed by qualified technician.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Ensure there are no ignition sources such as sparks or open flames.

A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When first lighting appliance it will take a short time for air to purge from lines. When purging is complete the appliance will light and operate normally.

Air only needs to be purged again if gas valve has been turned to the OFF position.

WARNING

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

Explosion Risk

Fire Risk

Asphyxiation Risk

Check all fittings and connections.

Do not use open flame.

After the gas line installation is complete, all connections must be tightened and checked for leaks with a commercially-available, non-corrosive leak check solution. Be sure

to rinse off all leak check solution following testing.

Fittings and connections may have loosened during shipping and handling.

WARNING

Fire hazard.

Do NOT change the valve settings.

• This valve has been preset at the factory.

• Changing valve settings may result in fire hazard or bodily injury.

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS

Omni-Test Laboratories, Inc. listed gas appliances are tested and approved without requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and 0 to 4500 feet in Canada.

When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. If the heating value of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.

If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.
