FRAMING
1. Frame appliance enclosure as illustrated in Figures 7 and 8.
Note: If a wall covering is used to line the enclosure, then all
measurements must be from the surface of the covering.
2. Place the appliance into the framing and secure it.
Note: If appliance is to be raised above floor level, a platform
must be built to support the appliance.
3. Install the supply line to the appliance using a 1/2" NPT black
iron gas line terminating 2
ance. The gas line must be installed through the lower left side
access point or alternate access hole in the bottom of the appli-
ance (see Figure 19, page 12).
4. Repack insulation around the gas line to cover any remaining
openings in the conduit sleeve. Prepare the incoming gas line
with teflon tape or pipe joint compound and hook-up incoming
gas line to the flexible gas line.
Note: If 1/2" NPT black iron pipe does not mate with fitting at
the end of flexible gas line, remove fitting and replace with a 37
degree flare 3/4"-12, 1/2" NPT (female) fitting.
WARNING: When finishing appliance, do not
overlap combustible material onto the black front
face. Brick, tile, or other noncombustible materials
may be applied to the face provided that any gap is
between the material used and the face is caulked
with a noncombustible caulking.
