Installation Items Needed
Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below.
• approved flexible gas hose and fittings (supplied with appliance, if
allowed by local codes)
• external regulator (propane/LP models only)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve*
• test gauge connection*
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regulator.
The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must
reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you
do not reduce incoming gas pressure, control valve damage could oc-
cur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in
Figure 11. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
