Gas Line Piping

If the length of the line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet.

Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thick- ness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe.

Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas.

Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, under- ground use.

Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.

Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover

Test Connections

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1

￿DANGER

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.

Install igniter

Note - The igniter wires are already attached to the Gas Catcher Ignition Chamber and the igniter. This was done to factory test the ignition system.

The igniter lock nut is on the igniter.

1)Loosen the igniter lock nut.

2)Insert the top of the igniter up through the large part of the keyhole in the frame brace. Slide the igniter into the small part of the keyhole.

3)Tighten the igniter lock nut back onto the igniter. Note - If the igniter works loose, carefully tighten the igniter lock nut with an adjustable wrench or pliers.
