Connecting to GAS Supply

INSTALLATION

Continued

WARNING: This appliance requires a 1/2" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pressure regulator.

WARNING: A qualiﬁed ser- vice person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: For propane/LP gas, never connect heater di- rectly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install theexternalregulatorbetweenthe heater and propane/LP supply.

Installation Items Needed

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

•external regulator for propane/LP only (sup- plied by installer)

•piping (check local codes)

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

•equipment shutoff valve *

•test gauge connection *

•sediment trap

•tee joint

•pipe wrench

*A CSA design-certiﬁed equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-certiﬁed equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories, page 25.

For propane/LP 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 pres- sure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 12. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

WARNING: For natural gas, never connect heater 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" inside diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.

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 heater (see Figure 13, page 13).

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 building codes for any special require- ments for locating equipment shutoff valve to ﬁreplaces.

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 clogged heater valves.

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