STOVE AND DIRECT-VENT BURNER SYSTEM INSTALLATION

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the burner system unit you are installing. If you have conflicting gas types, do not install burner system. See dealer where you purchased the stove and burner system for proper burner system according to your gas type.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO STOVE/ BURNER SYSTEM LOCATION

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

CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect burner system directly to the propane/LP supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the burner system and propane/LP supply.

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 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 CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories, page 36.

For propane/LP connections only, the installer 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, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regu- lator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 37. 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 cer- tain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to burner system. 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 burner system (see Figure 38, page 19).

IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The main gas valve is for turning on and shutting off the gas to the appliance.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to stoves.

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 burner system valves.

WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
