GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
WARNING
•
All gas supply installation work must be performed by
trained and authorized person(s) and comply with the
requirements of local Gas Installation Codes.
•
All Piping Joints should be tested for leaks with a soapy
water solution before use.
•
Gas hose must be located out of pathway where people
may trip over it, or in areas where the hose may be subject
to accidental damage.
Verify the type of gas supply complies with the appliance
rating plate, located at the back of the heater.
The inlet connection to the heater control box is a 1/2" NPT
Female.
The appliance is supplied with an approved manual isolating
valve. The installer must ensure that it is installed with the
heater in accordance to local Gas Installation Codes.
Gas supply pressure must be limited to 14" W.C. If gas line
pressure exceeds this level, a separate pressure reducing
regulator must be installed.
The appliance and must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
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 (3.5kPa).
Tighten all the connections and then turn on the gas supply.
Check for gas leakage with a soapy water solution. (See
section titled "Leakage Test").
Do not use an open flame to check for leaks.
When the heater is operating, check gas pressure at the outlet
point and ensure the manifold pressure to the heater is:
LPG:
10" W .C
NG:
5" W .C.
To check and adjust the appliances internal valve regulator:
Remove the cover panel. Remove the regulator cover cap.
Unscrew and remove the outlet test point plug.
Connect a manometer to outlet test point. Measure the
regulator outlet pressure. Adjust the pressure by turning
the regulator screw. Adjust the pressure according to the
manifold pressure noted above. Replace regulator cover cap.
Replace outlet test point plug and ensure it is tightened and
no gas leak. Replace cover panel.

POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION
The heater, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
code, NFPA 70 or the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
This heater is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not
cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
The Cobalt Gas Heater comes standard with 36"
of power cord in addition to the Approved 3 pin
power plug.
If an appropriate power socket is available, the
heater can be plugged into this power socket and
operated using the on/off switch supplied on the
power socket. Alternatively, the power installation
can be tailored to suit the site requirements by an
Authorized Electrician.
Keep electrical supply cord away from any heated
surface and flue gasses (see warnings on page 11).
Please Note:
Cobalt Gas Heaters do not have their own on/
off switch. Operation should be controlled via the
mains power.
Ensure that power socket is switched o before
plugging in power cord.
LEAKAGE TEST
Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the
factory prior to shipment. A complete gas tightness
check must be performed at the installation site due
to possible mishandling in shipment or excessive
pressure being applied to the heater. Check ALL
connections.
• The heater must be checked with the gas supply
• Make sure the safety control valve is in the OFF
• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent
• Turn the gas supply ON.
• In case of a leak, turn o the gas supply. Tighten
• Never leak test while smoking.
