Connect Gas Supply

The gas supply pipe
should enter the appliance
case through the opening
at the left side. The supply
pipe should be connected
to the appliance gas
inlet pipe situated
at the left side of the
control valve. Supply line
connection to the inlet
pipe is 3/8 inch NPT (female).If the circulating fan is
to be installed, be aware that the supply pipe run
inside the case should be at the same height as
the appliance inlet pipe in order to clear the fan. If
intending to fi t an internal isolating valve, check
that it will be clear of the fan.
Use only new black iron or steel pipes, CSST, or
copper tubing if acceptable—check local codes. Note
that in USA, copper tubing must be internally
tinned for protection against sulfur compounds.
Unions in gas lines should be of ground joint type.
The gas supply line must be sized and installed to
provide a supply of gas suffi cient to meet the maximum
demand of the appliance without undue loss of
pressure.
Sealant used must be resistant to the action of all gas
constituents including propane gas. Sealant should be
applied lightly to male threads to ensure excess sealant
does not enter gas lines.
The supply line should include a manual shut-off valve
to allow the appliance to be disconnected for servicing.
A plugged 1/8 inch NPT tapping must be installed in
the line. The tapping must be accessible for test gauge
connection and be immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the appliance.
Pressure test the supply line for leaks.
• 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 (3.5kPa).
• 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 (3.5kPa).

• Failure to either disconnect or isolate the appliance
during pressure testing may result in regulator or
valve damage. Consult your dealer in this case.
The minimum supply pressure is given in the
Specifi cations section of this manual.
All piping and connections must be tested for leaks
after installation or servicing. All leaks must be
corrected immediately.
When testing for leaks:
• Make sure that the appliance is turned off .
• Open the manual shut-off valve.
• Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap
solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate a gas
leak. Never use an open fl ame to check for leaks.
• Correct any leak detected immediately.
The pressure test tapping locations are shown on
below. A built-in non-adjustable regulator controls the
burner manifold pressure. The correct pressure range
is shown in the table in Specifi cations section of this
manual. The pressure check should be made with the
burner alight and at its highest setting. See Lighting
Instructions section for full operating details.
