Check the Rating Plate attached by a steel cable to the
firebox, to confirm that you have the appropriate firebox
for the type of fuel to be used. The Radiance may be con-
verted from one gas to another using the appropriate Fuel
Conversion Kit listed on Page 46.
In the U.S.; Gas connection should be made in accordance
with current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z3.1/NFPA
54. Since some municipalities have additional local codes,
be sure to consult your local authority.
In Canada; consult the local authority and CSA-B149.1
installation code.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap
and water solution. Do not use an open flame
for leak testing.
Light the pilot according to the directions on Page 31,
before going to the next step.

The Radiance Heater and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The Radiance Heater must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressure
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
There must be a gas shutoff between the stove and
the supply.
In order to connect Natural Gas, use a fitting with
1/2" NPT on the valve side and 1/2" natural gas sup-
ply line with an input of 38,000 BTUs at a manifold
pressure of 3.5" between minimum inlet supply of
5.5" w.c. and maximum of 14.0" w.c.
In order to connect Propane, use a fitting with 1/2"
NPT on the valve side and 1/2" propane gas supply
