GAS CONNECTION
If installation is for L.P. Gas have L.P. installer use two-
stage regulation and make all connections from storage
tank to furnace.
Use two pipe wrenches when making the connection to
the vaive to prevent turning or damage to gas valve.
Connection between shut off valve and burner control
assembly can be made with an A.G.A./C.G.A. design cer-
tified flexible connector if allowed by local codes.
Tighten all joints securely.
CHECKING THE GAS PIPING
Test all piping for leaks. When checking gas piping to the
furnace with gas pressure at less than 1/2 PSI, shut off
manual gas valve for the furnace. If gas piping is to be
checked with the pressure at or above 1/2 PSI, the furnace
and manual shut off valve must be disconnected
during
testing. (SEE WARNING BELOW.) Apply soap suds (or
a liquid detergent) to each joint. Bubbles forming indicates
a leak. Correct even the slightest leak at once.
WARNING
DANGER OF PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST
FOR
LEAKS.
NEVER
EXCEED
SPECIFIED
PRESSURES FOR TESTING. HIGH PRESSURES
MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE AND CAUSE
OVER-FIRING WHICH MAY RESULT IN HEAT EX-
CHANGER FAILURE. LIQUID PETROLEUM (L.P.)
GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND IT WILL SETTLE
IN ANY LOW AREA, INCLUDING OPEN DEPRES-
SION AND IT WILL REMAIN THERE
UNLESS
AREA IS VENTILATED.
NEVER ATTEMPT START-UP OF UNIT BEFORE
THOROUGHLY
VENTILATING
AREA.
Thermostat
Installation
ALL MODELS
1. If an old thermostat
is being replaced and is in a
satisfactory location and the wiring appears to be in
good condition, use existing wiring. If in doubt, use new
wire.
2. If a new location is chosen or if this is a new installa-
tion, thermostat cable must first be run to the location
selected. All wiring must agree with local codes and
ordinances. These instructions cover bringing the wire
down from the attic but it can be run from a basement
or crawl space using similar methods.
3. Before drilling hole in wall at selected location, drive
a small finishing nail through the ceiling in the corner
of the wall and ceiling above the thermostat location.
Pull the nail out and push a small stiff wire through the
hole so it can be found in the attic. Drill a 1/2 inch hole
through the ceiling wall plate.
4. Probe for obstructions in the partition.
Then drill a
1/2 inch hole through wall at selected location for
thermostat.
5. From the attic, feed the thermostat cable or a stiff wire
through the wall until even with thermostat location.
