Installations In The State Of Massachusetts - COZY CDV142E Owner's Manual

CHECKING THE GAS PIPING
Test all piping for leaks. When checking gas piping to the furnace
with gas pressure at less than 1/2 PSI, shut off manual gas
valve to the furnace. If the gas piping is to be checked with the
pressure at or above 1/2 PSI, the furnace and manual shutoff
valve must be disconnected during testing. Apply a soap solution
(or a liquid detergent) to each joint. Bubbles forming indicate a
leak. Correct even the slightest leak at once.
WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily
injury or death. Never use a match or open flame to test for
leaks. Never exceed specified pressures for testing. Higher
pressures may damage the gas valve and cause over firing
which may result in combustion chamber failure. Liquefied
petroleum gas (PRPN GAS) is heavier than air and it will
settle in any low area, including open depressions and it
will remain there unless area is ventilated. Never attempt
start-up of the unit before thoroughly ventilating the area and
smelling near the floor for gas odor.
When an existing category I heater is removed or replaced, the
original venting system may no longer be sized to properly vent
the attached appliances
INSTALLATIONS IN THE STATE
OF MASSACHUSETTS
All installations in the State of Massachusetts must use
the following requirements when installing, maintaining or
operating direct-vent propane or natural gas-fired space heaters.

terminal and the air intake is installed below four feet above
grade the following requirements must be satisfied:
1. If there is not one already present, on each floor level
where there are bedroom(s), a carbon monoxide
detector and alarm shall be placed in the living area
outside the bedroom(s). The carbon monoxide detector
shall comply with NFPA 720 (2005 Edition).
2. A carbon monoxide detector shall be located in the
room that houses the appliance or equipment
