Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances

(see Figure 4)

A. Clearances from outermost point of stove top to any combustible side wall should not be less than 12 inches.

B. Clearances from outermost point of stove top to any combustible back wall should not be less than 6 inches (lncludes corner installations).

C. Clearances from the stove top to the ceiling should not be less than 48 inches.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY

WARNING: A qualified service person must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: This appliance re- quires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to the pres- sure regulator.

WARNING: Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

WARNING: Do not over tighten gas connections

CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). lnstall the external regu- lator between the heater and gas supply.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (PROPANE or NG).

CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regu- lator with wrench when connecting into gas piping and/or fittings.

INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED

Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.

•piping (check local codes)

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

•equipment shutoff valve*

•test gauge connection*

•sediment trap

•tee joint

•pipe wrench

•flexible gas hose. (Check local codes)

*A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

The installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. lnstall external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 6. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
