Introduction
Continued
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54. This appliance complies with ANSI Z21.50/CSA 2.22.
WARNING: Installation of this appliance should be done by a qualified service person well trained in the installation of such appliances. You will also need a building permit from your local BuildingandSafetyCommissioner beforeinstallingthisappliance; otherwiseyourinsuranceco.may not cover this appliance.
NOTICE: This appliance is not intended to be used as a primary source of heat.
CAUTION: Do not connect appliance before pressure testing gas piping. Damage to gas valve may result and an unsafe condition may be caused.
The appliance and it’s individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
For the purpose of input adjustment two pressure taps (for IN and OUT pressures) are provided on the gas control valve for test gauge connections to the appliance.
Selecting Location
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your appliance, you must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1.The location must allow for proper clear- ances (see Clearances, page 7).
2.Consider a location where heat output would not be affected by drafts, air con- ditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3.A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make installation easier. Figure 1 shows a plan view of a few com-
mon locations.
Flush installations are recommended where living space is limited or at a premium and since the space required to enclose the appliance would be located beyond an outside wall, this would also reduce the cutting of joists, roof rafters and such. Check local codes for any restrictions.
Projected installations can extend any distance into the room. A projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, finished wall.
Corner installations make use of space that may not normally be used and provides a wider and more efficient range for radiant heat transference.
Internal wall installations provide a discreet option for room separation and can also be ideal as an addition to an existing wall.
