FRAMING

1.Frame appliance enclosure as illustrated in Figures 7 and 8.

Note: If a wall covering is used to line enclosure, then all measurements must be from surface of covering.

2.Place appliance into framing and se- cure.

Note: If appliance is to be raised above floor level, a platform must be built to support appliance.

3.Install supply line to appliance using a 1/2" NPT black iron gas line terminating 2 5/16" above bottom of appliance. The gas line must be installed through lower left side access point or alternate access hole in the bottom of appliance (see Figure 19, page 13).

4.Repack insulation around gas line to cover any remaining openings in conduit sleeve. Prepare incoming gas line with teflon tape or pipe joint compound and hook up incoming gas line to flexible gas line.

Note: If 1/2" NPT black iron pipe does not mate with fitting at the end of flexible gas line, remove fitting and replace with a 37 degree flare 3/4"-12, 1/2" NPT (female) fitting.

WARNING: When finishing appliance, do not overlap combustible material onto the black front face. Brick, tile or other noncombustible materials may be applied to the face provided that any gap is between the material used and the face is caulked with a noncombustible caulking.
