INSTALLATION

Continued

To install:

1.Remove gas line cover plate from applianceʼs outer surround at the location to be used.

2.Remove insulation from inside the gas line conduit sleeve.

3.Run gas line through sleeve.

4.Prepare incoming black iron gas line with Teflon tape or pipe joint compound. (Check local codes as to the use of Teflon tape.)

CAUTION: Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the action of Liquefied Petroleum (LP or propane) and should be applied lightly to ensure excess sealant does not enter the gas line.

5.Connect incoming gas line to regulator. Secure all joints tightly with wrench, but do not over tighten. If a flexible gas line is used, take care not to kink the connector.

6.Re-pack insulation in and around the conduit sleeve and flexible gas line.

WARNING: All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after the installation is completed.

After ensuring that the gas valve is on, apply a commercial leak detection solution to all con- nections and joints. If bubbles appear, leaks can be detected and corrected.

Do not use an open flame for leak testing and do not operate any appliance if a leak is detected.
