Gas Information

A. Fuel Conversion
• Make sure the appliance is compatible with available gas
types.
• Conversions must be made by a qualified service technician
using Hearth & Home Technologies specified and approved
parts.
B. Gas Pressures
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance
performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made
following NFPA54.
!
Fire Risk.
Explosion Hazard.
High pressure will damage valve.
• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE pressure
testing gas line at test pressures above 1/2 psig.
• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psig.
!
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfire condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
• Verify minimum pressures when other household
gas appliances are operating.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line pressure
is greater than 1/2 psig.

Manifold pressure
If the pressure is not sufficient, ensure:
• The piping used is large enough.
• The supply regulator is adequately adjusted.
• That the total gas load for the residence does not exceed
the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to
the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply gas
at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the
local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.
