CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

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

WARNING: A qualified service person must con- nect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP fireplace directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: Never connect natural gas fireplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing heater, 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 connector (if allowed by lo- cal codes) (not provided)

*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 36.

For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regula- tor. 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 point- ing down as shown in Figure 15. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diam- eter 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 Figures 16 or 17 page 13, depending on your model).

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.

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.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figures 16 or 17 page 13, depending on your model. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and heater. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings (Variable Manually-Controlled and Thermostatically-Controlled Models Only).

CAUTION: Avoid damage to gas control. Hold gas control with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings (Remote-Ready Models Only).

R specifications

Desa R is an innovative urban development designed as a model for sustainable living. Located in a prime setting, it combines modern technology with an eco-friendly approach, making it a standout community in today's urban landscape. The main features of Desa R revolve around sustainability, community engagement, and smart city solutions.

One of the cornerstones of Desa R is its commitment to sustainability. The development incorporates extensive green spaces, which not only promote biodiversity but also provide residents with recreational areas. Parks, gardens, and tree-lined streets are thoughtfully distributed throughout the area, encouraging outdoor activities and community gatherings. The design emphasizes walkability, reducing the need for vehicular transportation and promoting healthier lifestyles.

Desa R utilizes advanced technologies to enhance the living experience. Smart home systems are integrated into residential units, allowing for control of lighting, heating, and security through mobile applications. This technology not only contributes to energy efficiency but also provides residents with convenience and peace of mind. Additionally, smart waste management systems are in place, utilizing sensors to optimize waste collection routes and minimize environmental impact.

The development also prioritizes renewable energy sources. Solar panels are installed on rooftops, harnessing sunlight to provide clean energy for homes and shared facilities. This not only reduces energy costs for residents but also contributes to the community's overall carbon footprint reduction.

Community engagement is another integral aspect of Desa R. A variety of communal spaces, such as coworking hubs, community centers, and event venues, facilitate social interaction and collaboration among residents. Regular workshops and events are organized to foster a sense of belonging and encourage skill-sharing among community members.

Transport in Desa R is designed to be efficient and sustainable as well. The area is well-connected with public transport options, including electric buses and cycling paths, making it easier for residents to travel without relying heavily on personal vehicles.

In summary, Desa R embodies the future of urban living, characterized by sustainability, technological integration, and community-oriented design. It serves as a blueprint for future urban developments, demonstrating that modern living can harmonize with the environment and foster strong community ties.
