Gas connection
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
In Massachusetts a licensed plumber/gas fitter is required.
This appliance must be installed with its own shut off valve and the included gas pressure regulator. Both the valve and the regulator must be easily accessible to the consumer to turn on or shut off the gas supply after the appliance is installed.
This appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing performed in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa), or isolated from the gas line by closing its individual manual shut off valve at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Any pipe connections must be made using a thread sealant approved for gas connections. Failure to correctly install these items could lead to a gas leak and subsequent explosion.
The gas connection must be made in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
-the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54
for the USA
or
-the current Can/CGA B 149.1 and .2 Installation Codes for gas burning appliances for Canada.
Make sure that the maximum gas supply pressure before the gas pressure regulator is never more than ½ psi for both natural gas or LP gas.
The minimum supply pressure to get the required gas input is
4" w.c. for natural gas: 10" w.c. for LP gas.
