Gas Information

A. Fuel Conversion
• Make sure the appliance is compatible with available gas
types.
• Conversions must be made by a qualified service
technician using Hearth & Home Technologies specifi ed
and approved parts.
B. Gas Pressure
• Optimum appliance performance requires proper input
pressures.
• Gas line sizing requirements will be determined in ANSI
Z223.1 National Fuel Gas Code in the USA and CAN/
CGA B149 in Canada.
• Pressure requirements are:

Gas Pressure

Minimum inlet pressure
Maximum inlet pressure
Manifold pressure
These pressures can be verifi ed through the access
panel as shown in Section 6.D Valve Access.
When an appliance is for connection to a fi xed piping sys-
tem, the installation must conform with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or International Fuel Gas
Code.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! High pressure
will damage valve. Low pressure could cause explosion.
• Verify inlet pressures. Verify minimum pressures when
other household gas appliances are operating.
• Install regulator upstream of valve if line pressure is
greater than 1/2 psig.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Explosion Hazard.
High pressure will damage valve.
• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
above 1/2 psig.
• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with
local 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 in. (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve
and fl exible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 in. (13
mm) control valve inlet.
• If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
C. Gas Connection
• If control box is to be relocated, move it at this time to
avoid making the gas connection more than once.
• Refer to Reference Section 3 for location of gas line
access in appliance.
• Gas line may be run through knockout(s) provided.
Note: Gas line MUST be run from right side of appliance.
• The gap between supply piping and gas access hole
may be caulked with caulk with a minimum of 300ºF
continuous exposure rating or stuffed with non-
combustible, unfaced insulation to prevent cold air
infi ltration.
• Ensure that gas line does not come in contact with outer
wrap of the appliance. Follow local codes.
• Pipe incoming gas line into valve compartment.
• Connect incoming gas line to the 1/2 in. (13 mm)
connection on manual shutoff valve.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! Support control
when attaching pipe to prevent bending gas line.
• A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines.
Light the appliance. It will take a short time for air to purge
from lines. When purging is complete the appliance will
light and operate normally.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT change valve settings.
This valve has been preset at the factory.
