Gas Pressure - Jøtul GF 600 DV II Firelight Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Gas Connection
NOTE: INSTALL THE OPTIONAL BLOWER KIT # 156000
BEFORE CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY LINE.
The gas supply line connection is made to the
LEFT side of the valve. The supply line should be 3/8"
or 1/2" diameter, or the appropriate size to provide
sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless of the
input setting.
The use of flexible gas appliance connectors is
acceptable in many areas in the U.S., however, Cana-
dian methods vary depending on local code.
ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL
CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST
COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR
CAN-B149.
All codes require a gas shut-off valve (gas cock)
and union to be installed in the supply line and in the
same room as the appliance for servicing and main-
tenance. See Figure 14.
T-handle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts
in compliance with Code 248 CMR.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools
and sealing compounds (for propane units be sure to
use compounds that are propane resistant). Turn on
gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water
solution or gas sensor. Never use an open flame to
check for leaks.
Leak test:
1. Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.
2. Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page
27 of this manual or on the stove's rating plate.
3. Brush or spray all joints and connections with the
soapy water solution.
4. If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a
gas odor is detected immediately turn gas control
knob to the OFF position.
5. Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest
for any gas leaks.

Gas Pressure

Proper gas pressure provides a consistent flow of
gas to the appliance and is instrumental in checking
for gas leaks. The gas control valve on the stove is
equipped with pressure test points for gauge connec-
tions.
The gauge connections are located on the front of the
valve under the Gas Control Knob. See Fig. 15. Gauge
connections are identified by:
• E for inlet or supply pressure ( the amount of gas
coming to the valve.)
• A for manifold pressure (the amount of gas that is
coming out of the valve to the burner.)
ALWAYS TEST PRESSURES WITH VALVE CONTROL
KNOB SET ON HIGH.
