Note: Output capacity. The efficiency rating of the appliance is a product thermal efficiency rating determined under continuous operating conditions and was determined independently of any installed system. Vent height may or may not change your efficiency ratings.

HIGH ELEVATION

This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0 to 4500 ft. (CAN1 2.17-M90) with the orifice sup- plied.

GAS LINE

INSTALLATION

The gas line can be brought through either the right or the left side of the appliance. The gas valve is situated on the right hand side of the unit and the gas inlet is on the right hand side of the valve.

Note: If the gas line is being installed from the left side, be sure to leave room to accommodate servicing of the fan.

The gas line connection may be made of rigid pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex connec- tor. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the valve can be removed for servicing.) Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult with your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation code.

For USA installations follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

When using copper or flex connectors use only approved fittings. Always provide a union so that gas lines can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex connectors are usually consid- ered to meet this requirement.

Important: Always check for gas leaks with a soap and water solution or gas leak detector. Do not use open flame for leak testing.

GAS PIPE PRESSURE

TESTING

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pres- sures over 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regu- lator built into the gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point.

Note: To properly check gas pressure, both inlet and manifold pressures should be checked using the valve pressure ports on the valve.

1)Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.

2)Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/ 8" (3mm) wide flat screwdriver.

3)Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" (8mm) ID hose.

4)Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON" position.

5)The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning and the setting should be within the limits specified on the safety label.

6)When finished reading manometer, turn off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/ 8"(3mm) flat screwdriver. Note: Screw should be snug, but do not over tight- en.
