Stove Installation - Breckwell BH23 Owner’s Instruction And Operation Manual

STOVE INSTALLATION

CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the unit you are installing. If you
have conflicting gas type, do not install unit.
WARNING:
A QUALIFIED INSTALLER OR SERVICE PERSON MUST
CONNECT APPLIANCE TO GAS SUPPLY. FOLLOW ALL
LOCAL CODES.
See dealer where you purchased the unit for proper unit
according to your gas type.
INSTALL GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION
Installation items needed before installing stove and burner
system, make sure you have the items listed below.
• External regulator
• Tee joint
• Test gauge connection*
• Pipe wrench
• Sediment trap (recommended)
• Equipment shutoff valve*
• Piping (check local codes)
• Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas) (supplied by
installer)
• Approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed
by local codes — not provided)
*A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with
1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer. For propane/LP connections
only, 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 13
inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,
burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external
regulator with the vent pointing down as shown. Pointing
the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

TINNED COPPER OR COPPER TUBING CAN BE USED PER
NATIONAL FUEL CODE, SECTION 2.6.3, PROVIDING
GAS MEETS HYDROGEN SULFIDE LIMITS, AND WHERE
PERMITTED BY LOCAL CODES. GAS PIPING SYSTEM MUST
BE SIZED TO PROVIDE MINIMUM INLET PRESSURE (LISTED
ON DATA PLATE) AT THE MAXIMUM FLOW RATE (BTU/
HR). UNDUE PRESSURE LOSS WILL OCCUR IF THE PIPE IS
FOR PROPANE/LP UNITS, NEVER CONNECT STOVE
DIRECTLY TO THE PROPANE/LP SUPPLY. THIS BURNER
SYSTEM REQUIRES AN EXTERNAL REGULATOR (NOT
SUPPLIED). INSTALL THE EXTERNAL REGULATOR BETWEEN
THE BURNER SYSTEM AND PROPANE/LP SUPPLY.
EXTERNAL REGULATORS MAY BE NECESSARY FOR
NATURAL GAS. ONE - OR TWO - POUND PER SQUARE
INCH (PSI) SYSTEMS WILL DAMAGE THIS APPLIANCE
AND MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD.
