Gas Connection - Quadra-Fire HUDBAY-INS Owner's Manual

E. Gas Connection
Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance
with local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI
223.1. Installation should be done by a qualifi ed installer
approved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must be
performed by a licensed plumber or gas fi tter).
Note: A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts ap-
proved) 1/2 inch (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve and
fl exible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch (13 mm)
control valve inlet.
• If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
WARNING
Gas Leak Risk
• Support control when attaching pipe to
prevent bending gas line.
Note: The gap between supply piping and gas access hole
may be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with
non-combustible, unfaced insulation to prevent cold air
infi ltration.
Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior
to and after starting the appliance.
Before making the gas connection, ensure that the
appliance you are installing is designed for the type of
gas being supplied. This information can be found on the
ratings label under the appliance. If the appliance has
been converted to propane (LP), the valve cover should
have a label stating that the appliance has been converted
to propane.
Connect the gas line at the 3/8 in. (10 mm) pipe connector
on the valve at the back of appliance. We recommend
connecting the appliance with an approved flex gas line.
If flex gas lines are not approved in your area, you must
connect a hard pipe to the gas hookup.
You must supply a manual shut-off valve in a visible
location within 3 ft. (914 mm) of the appliance.
Ensure that gas line does not come in contact with outer
wrap of appliance. Follow local codes.
Incoming gas line should be piped into the valve
compartment and connected to the 1/2 inch connection
on the manual shutoff valve.

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS
Omni-Test Laboratories, Inc. listed gas appliances are tested
and approved without requiring changes for elevations from
0 to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and 0 to 4500 feet in Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. Input
rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a
2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. If the heating value of the
gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify
the proper orifi ce size, check with the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
