Natural Gas Hook-Up

The gas appliance is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 7 inches water column. The piping up to
the appliance is the responsibility of the installer. Connect the inlet valve to rigid pipe, copper tube or an
approved flexible metal connector, which complies with Z21.4/CSA 6.10. If using a gas hose (not supplied)
connect the flared end of the hose to the connector on the end of the inlet valve. Tighten using two
wrenches. (Do not use thread sealer/pipe dope.) Leak test all joints prior to using the appliance. Piping
and valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied. The gas supply pipe must be sufficiently
sized to supply the BTU/h specified on the rating plate, based on the length of the piping run. The quick
disconnect must not be installed in an upward direction and a readily accessible manual shut-off valve
must be installed upstream of, and as close to, the quick disconnect as is feasible.
Purge the gas supply line of any trapped air prior to the first firing of the unit.
WARNING!
!
• The installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and all connections must be leak
tested before operating the appliance.
• Ensure all hose connections are tightened using two wrenches. Do not use Teflon tape or pipe
dope on any hose connection.
• Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces or it may melt and leak causing a
fire.
• Locate the hose out of pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be
subject to accidental damage.
• Leak test all the connections using a soap and water solution as per the leak testing instructions
found in the manual.
