In absence of local codes, install the BGD36CF and BGD42CF
to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the
current CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes. Mobile home
installation must conform with local codes or in the absence

The fi replace and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa). The fi replace 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 psig (3.5 kPa).
When the fi replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile
or other combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the
fi replace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth.
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must
