NOTICE: This burner system is intended for use as
supplemental heat. Use this burner system along with
your primary heating system. Do not install this stove
and burner system as your primary heat source. If you
have a central heating system, you may run system's
circulating blower while using heater. This will help
circulate the heat throughout the house. In the event
of a power outage, you can use this burner system as
your primary heat source.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the burner system unit you are installing.
If you have conflicting gas types, do not install burner system. See
dealer where you purchased the stove and burner system for proper
burner system according to your gas type. Conversion kits are also
available for these models, see Accessories on page 26.
IMPORTANT: If installing gas conversion kit, do so at this time. Be
sure to follow all installation instructions included with conversion kit.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO STOVE LOCATION
WARNING: A qualified installer or service person
must connect burner system to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect
burner system directly to the propane/LP supply. This
burner system requires an external regulator (not sup-
plied). Install the external regulator between the burner
system and propane/LP supply.
Installation Items Needed
Before installing stove and burner system, make sure you have the
items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by local
codes) (not provided)
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable
alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the equipment shutoff
valve from your dealer.

INSTALLATION
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external
regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure.
You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of
water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator
damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing
down as shown in Figure 14. Pointing the vent down protects it from
freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe.
Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in cer-
tain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2"
diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to
burner system. If pipe is too small, undue loss of
volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and
plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook
up. NPT tap must be upstream from burner system (see Figure 15).
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating
equipment shutoff valve to stoves.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged burner system valves.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant
to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
