INSTALLATION

Continued

We recommend that you install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 13. 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.

IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulator with wrench when con- necting it to gas piping and/or fittings. Do not over tighten pipe connection to regulator. The regulator body could be damaged.

CAUTION: For propane/LP gas, make sure exter- nal regulator has been installed between propane/LP supply and heater. See guidelines under Connecting to Gas Supply, page 8.

Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System

Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.

Disconnect appliance with its appliance main gas valve (control

 

valve) and equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping sys-

 

tem. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig will damage heater regulator.

3.

Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP

 

supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve

 

located on or near gas meter for natural gas, or using com-

 

pressed air.

4.

Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply a non-

 

corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming

 

show a leak.

5.

Correct all leaks at once.

6.

Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply.

 

Check reconnected fittings for leaks.

Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)

1.Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 14).

2.Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas, or using compressed air.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once.

WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
