INSTALLING TO WALL

NOTICE

A qualified service person must install heater. Follow all local codes.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only propane gas. If your gas supply is not propane, do not install heater. Call dealer where you bought heater for proper type heater.

INSTALLATION ITEMS

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.

external regulator (supplied by

manual shutoff valve *

sediment trap

 

installer, see page 13)

ground joint union

tee joint

• piping (check local codes)

• test gauge connection *

• pipe wrench

sealant (resistant to propane gas)

 

(see Figure 13, page 14)

 

 

*An A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. The optional A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff valve can be purchased from your dealer. See Accessory, page 25.

LOCATING HEATER

This heater is designed to be mounted on a wall.

WARNING

Maintain the minimum clearances shown in Figure 4 (page 10). If you can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceiling, and joining wall.

WARNING

Never install the heater

in a bedroom or bathroom (VP11A)

in a recreational vehicle

where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 36 inches from the front, top, or sides of the heater

as a fireplace insert

in high traffic areas

in windy or drafty areas

CAUTION

WARNING ICON

G 001

This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating heater where impurities in the air (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolor walls.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, in- stalling heater in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Fresh Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through 8.

CAUTION

If you install the heater in a home garage

heater pilot and burner must be at least 18 inches above floor

locate heater where moving vehicle will not hit it
