Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
CAUTION
This appliance should only be connected
by a qualified gas technician. Test to
confirm manifold pressures as specified
below.
The Radiance Heater and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The Radiance Heater must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its indi-
vidual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
There must be a gas shutoff between the stove
and the supply.
In order to connect Natural Gas, use a fitting
with 1/2" NPT on the valve side and 1/2" natural
gas supply line with an input of 35,000 BTUs at a
manifold pressure of 3.5" between minimum inlet
supply of 5.5" w.c. and maximum of 14.0" w.c.
In order to connect Propane, use a fitting with 1/2"
NPT on the valve side and 1/2" propane gas sup-
ply line with an input of 35,000 BTUs at a manifold
pressure of 10.0" between a minimum inlet supply
of 11.0" w.c. and maximum of 14.0" w.c.
