STOVE AND

DIRECT-VENT BURNER SYSTEM INSTALLATION

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the burner system unit you are installing. If you have conflict- ing gas types, do not install burner system. See dealer where you purchased the stove and burner system for proper burner system according to your gas type.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO STOVE/BURNER SYSTEM LOCATION

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

CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect burner sys- tem directly to the propane/LP supply. This burner system re- quires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regu- lator between the burner system and propane/LP supply.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing stove and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below.

• external regulator (supplied by installer)

• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• manual shutoff valve *

• test gauge connection *

•

sediment trap

•

tee joint

•

pipe wrench

• approved flexible gas line with gas con-

 

nector (if allowed by local codes) (not

 

provided)

For propane/LP connections only, the in- staller 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 pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure

38.Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

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 burner sys- tem. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

Installation must include a manual 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 burner system (see Figure 39).

IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (manual shutoff valve) in an accessible lo- cation. The main gas valve is for turning on and shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating manual shutoff valve to stoves.

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

CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal- ant that is resistant to liquid pe- troleum (LP) gas.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 39. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into burner system gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may not run properly.
