GAS REQUIREMENTS

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking
on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located
behind the drip tray on one of the endcaps. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the
appliance. You must use a gas regulator even if the supply is controlled.
The appliance and its individual shut-off 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 shut-off 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.). The installation
of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Installation in Canada must be in accordance with Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CSA B149.1, and/or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2 and local codes.

Supply pressure: 5" to 14" W.C. If in excess of 14" W.C. a step down regulator is required.
Check with your local gas utility company or local codes for instructions on installing gas
supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the
gas line is too small, the unit will not function properly. .
Connecting the fittings supplied with the power burner.
Use joint compound on male threads only. Do not use joint compound on the flare end of the
1/2" NPT to 3/8" flare adapter. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas
flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer-supplied gas
valve in an accessible location.
