EYF Series Unvented Gas Log Set
Use new black iron or steel pipe. Internally
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 too small.
A manual shutoff valve must be installed
upstream of the appliance. Union tee
and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping
point should be installed upstream of the
appliance. Figure 13
NOTICE: A qualified gas appliance installer must connect
the heater to the gas supply. Consult all local codes.
IMPORTANT: Hold heater valve firmly with a wrench to
prevent movement when connecting to inlet pipe.
Always use an external regulator for all propane/LPG
heaters and high pressure one to two-pound systems
only, to reduce the supply tank pressure to a maximum of
13" w.c. This is in addition to the internal regulator in the
heater valve.

Connecting directly to an unregulated
propane/LPG tank can cause an explo-
sion.
The heater gas inlet connection is a 3/8" NPT at the valve.
All units have the inlet connection on the right side, when
you face the unit. To connect from the opposite side, route
the pipe under the rear portion of the unit.
When tightening up the joint to the valve, hold the valve
securely to prevent movement.
MANUAL CONTROL
Figure 14
The pressure regulator is preset and locked to dis-
courage tampering. If the pressure is not as specified,
replace the regulator with the correct part from the parts
list in this manual.
Remove 1/8" NPT plug, located on side of regulator body.
