Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE
Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the inside
of the right side framing as shown in Figure 10.
Gas lines must be routed, constructed and made
of materials that are in strict accordance with
local codes and regulations. All appliances
are factory-equipped with a flexible gas line
connector and 1/2" shutoff valve. (See Step
5 on Page 13).

Proper Sizing of Gas Line
Properly size and route the gas supply line
from the supply regulator to the area where the
appliance is to be installed per requirements
outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA
54 - latest edition (USA) or CAN/CGA-B149.1
- latest edition (Canada).

Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to
Table 7 for proper sizing of the gas supply line,
if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines must
be routed, constructed and made of materials
that are in strict accordance with local codes
and regulations. We recommend that a quali-
fied individual such as a plumber or gas fitter
be hired to correctly size and route the gas
supply line to the appliance. Installing a gas
supply line from the fuel supply to the appliance
involves numerous considerations of materials,
protection, sizing, locations, controls, pressure,
sediment, and more. Certainly no one unfamiliar
and unqualified should attempt sizing or install-
ing gas piping.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Notes:
• All appliances are factory-equipped with a
flexible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff
valve (see Figure 19 on Page 14).
• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page 4
for additional requirements for installations in
the state of Massachusetts in the USA.
• The gas supply line should Not be connected
to the appliance until Step 5 (Page 13).
• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be
used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications. Be very careful that the pipe
compound does not get inside the pipe.
• It is recommended to install a sediment trap
in the supply line as close as possible to the
appliance (see Figure 19 , Page 14). Appli-
ances using propane should have a sediment
trap at the base of the tank.
• Check with local building official for local code
requirements (i.e. are below grade penetrations

of the gas line allowed?, etc).
