Step 5. CONNECTING GAS LINE
All codes require a shut-off valve mounted
in the supply line. The orientation of the
shut-off valve should face the front. Figure
19 illustrates two methods for connecting the
gas supply. A Sediment Trap is recommended
to prevent moisture and debris in gas line from
damaging the valve.
The flex-line method is acceptable in the U.S.A.
where local codes permit, however, Canadian
requirements vary depending on locality. Instal-
lation must be in compliance with local codes.
These appliances are equipped with a gas flex-
line for use in connecting the unit to the gas line.
See Figure 19 for flex-line description. The
flex-line is rated for both natural and propane
gas. A manual shut off valve is also provided
with the flex-line.
The gas control valve is located in the lower
control compartment.
To access the valve open the lower control
compartment door (see Figure 21).

The millivolt control valve has a 3/8" (10 mm)
NPT thread inlet port. The electronic control
valve has a 1/2" (13 mm) NPT thread inlet
port and is fitted with a 1/2" x 3/8" (13 mm x
10 mm) NPT fitting.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate
tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane ap-
plications). It is recommended to seal around
the gas line to prevent cold air leakage.
Acquire the shut-off valve and gas lex line and
pull the assembly forward out of the compart-
ment. Separate the shut-off valve from the gas
flex-line. Determine the length of pipe needed
to route the gas line from the last fitting (shown
in Figure 19 on Page 14) to a point within the
control compartment that will allow the shut-
off valve to be easily attached by hand to the
gas flex-line.
Using pipe-dressing materials appropriate for
the gas type, securely affix the shut-off valve
to this determined pipe length at a convenient
location outside of the appliance lower control
compartment.
TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS
(FACTORY AND FIELD):
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks us-
ing Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks,
using a gas leak test solution (also referred to
as bubble leak solution).
Note: Using a soapy water solution is an effec-
tive leak test solution but it is not recommended,
because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/
fittings can result in corrosion over time.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting
instructions label in the control compartment
or in the Care and Operation Instructions
manual).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas
leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles
are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the “OFF”
position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking
connection, then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, be
sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.
WARNINGNever use an open flame to check for leaks.Figure 18
