(W.C.)
with natural
gas regulator.

this appliance
must
be
used.
This
Regulator
is set for an outlet
pressure
of 4" W.C.
Install
a Shutoff
Valve
at the gas supply
source
outdoors
at a point after the gas pipe exits the
outside
wall and before
the quick-disconnect
hose.
Or install
it at the point
before

enters
the ground.
