INSTALLATION

GAS CONNECTION

For minimum and maximum supply pressure see the System Data table on page 7.

Note: Prior to any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that ex- ceeds test pressures of 1/2 psig, this appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the piping system. If test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig are used then this appliance must be isolated from the piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during the testing.

Valve Access: Loosen and remove the wing- nuts on the both sides of the bottom louver and then remove the louver.

GAS CONNECTION WARNING:

2)The gas connection is a 3/8" NPT male pipe on the rear left side of the unit. The gas line can be rigid pipe or to make installation easier use a listed fl exible connector and manual shut-off valve if allowed by local building codes. A 1/2" gas supply pipe must be brought near this inlet hole.

3)Locate the center point where the vent will pass through the chimney above the appli- ance. Move the appliance into the exact location where it is to be installed. Ensure that the Insert is level.

4)The gas control valve is provided with two "IN" and "OUT" pressure taps, and are easily accessible for a test gauge connection (see diagram on page 9).

5)Once the gas has been connected ensure that the pilot valve is in line with burner.

CAUTION: If the door is removed or opened for servicing, it must be replaced and closed prior to operating the appliance. The glass must be fixed in the door when operating.
