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)
•equipment 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)
* An CSA/AGA |
ment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an |
acceptable alternative to test gauge connec- |
tion. Purchase the CSA/AGA |
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 burner system (see Figure 29).
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment 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 29. 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.

Figure 28 - External Regulator with Vent Pointing Down (Propane/LP Only)
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, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 28. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
