Napoleon PTH31GT User Manual page 5

Propane Cylinder Installation: Set cylinder into hole in bottom shelf. Tighten strap over cylinder to secure
it in place.
Cylinder Connection: Ensure the gas regulator hose is kink free. Remove the cap from the cylinder fuel
valve. Insert the black QCC1 regulator nipple onto the QCC1 fuel valve. Hand tighten clockwise. Do not use
tools. Leak test all joints prior to using the patio heater. A leak test must be performed annually and each
time a cylinder is hooked up or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
If this heater is to be connected directly to a house propane gas supply line, follow the instructions for the
natural gas hook-up. Ensure that the supply pressure is 11 inches water column.
Natural Gas Hook-Up: These connections must be made by a licensed gas fitter. This natural gas patio
heater is supplied with a gas supply hose (complete with a quick disconnect) designed for natural gas and
certified for outdoor use. The patio heater is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 7 inches water
column. Piping and valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied. The installation must comply
with CAN B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane installation code in Canada, or to the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be sufficient to supply this 31,000 BTU/hr patio
heater.
The quick disconnect must not be installed in an upward direction and a readily accessible manual shut-off
valve must be installed upstream of, and as close to, the quick disconnect as is feasible. The flared end of
the hose must be connected to the fitting on the end of the control valve as illustrated in the Natural Gas
Hose Attachment diagram. Tighten using two wrenches. (Do not use thread sealer/pipe dope.) Leak test
all joints prior to using the gas heater.
WARNING!
• The installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and all connections must be leak tested
before operating the patio heater.
• Ensure all hose connections are tightened using two wrenches. Do not use Teflon tape or pipe dope
on any hose connection.
• Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces or it may melt and leak causing a fire.
• Leak test all the connections using a soap and water solution as per the leak testing instructions found
in the manual.
• The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psi
(3.5 kPa).
• The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
