INSTALLATION
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice technician must connect
stove to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 3/8" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) inlet connection to
the pressure regulator.
WARNING: For natural gas,
Never connect stove to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This gas
is commonly known as wellhead
gas.
CAUTION: For propane/LP gas,
never connect stove directly to the
gas supply. This stove requires an
external regulator (not supplied).
Install the external regulator be-
tween the stove and propane/LP
gas supply. Gas supplier provides
external regulator for natural gas.
The installer provides the external
regulator for propane/LP gas.
WARNING: Do not over-
tighten gas connections.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to stove. If
pipe is too small, undue loss of
pressure will occur.
CAUTION: For natural gas,
check your gas line pressure
before connecting stove to gas
line. Gas line pressure must be
no greater than 9" of w.c. If gas
line pressure is higher, stove
regulator damage could occur.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to
regulator. Hold gas regulator
with wrench when connecting
into gas piping and/or fittings.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to gas
(Propane/LP or Natural Gas).
Before installing stove, make sure you have
the items listed below:
• external regulator for propane/LP unit only
(supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to natural gas and pro-
pane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve*
• test gauge connection*
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• flexible gas hose (check local codes)
* A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA design certified equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer (see
Acces-
sories
, page 29).
Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters
Use 1/2" black iron pipe or greater. Installa-
tion 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 stove (see Figure
11, page 13).
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff
valve in an accessible location. The equip-
ment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting
off the gas to the appliance.
