In absence of local codes, install the appliance to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
Installation Code which can be obtained from:
American National Standards Institute Inc.
New York, NY 10018
The 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The 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 psig (3.5 kPa). When
installed with a blower the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local
codes. In the absense of local codes, use the current ANSI / NFPA 70 National Electric Code. In the case
where the blower is equipped with a power cord it must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle.
The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.
As long as the required clearance to combustibles is
maintained, the most desirable and benefi cial location for a
Napoleon® appliance is in the center of a building, thereby
allowing the most effi cient use of the heat created. The
location of windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the room
where the appliance is to be located should be considered.
If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will
pass through the house without cutting a fl oor or roof joist.
When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood
fl ooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.
