IMPORTANT BEFORE CONNECTING THE GAS TO THE HEATER
a)
Connect to the supply tank or manifold in accordance with state or local building codes. Authorities having
jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation is made. (In Canada, refer to the latest edition of
CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.)
b)
Check that the gas fuel on the burner rating plate matches the fuel for the application.
c)
Check that the gas supply piping has the capacity for the total gas consumption of the heaters and any
other equipment connected to the line.
d)
Check that the calculated supply pressure with all gas appliances and heaters operating will not drop
below the minimum supply pressure required for these heaters. See table below.
e)
All gas supply lines must be located in accordance with the required clearances to combustibles from the
heater as listed on the clearances label of the heater and Section 4.0) of this manual.
f)
Pipe joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
g)
The heater will move when installed with flexible hanging methods, see Section 12.0). Use an approved
flexible connector for connections between the rigid piping and the heater. An approved shut off valve
should be installed within 6ft of the heater.
h)
The gas pipe, flexible hose and connections must be self-supporting. The gas pipe work must not bear any
of the weight of the heater or any other suspended assembly.
i)
This appliance is equipped with a fast-opening, combination gas valve. The maximum supply pressure to
the appliance is 14” W.C. (1/2 psig) If the line pressure is more than the maximum supply pressure, then a
second stage regulator which corresponds to the supply pressure must be used
j)
After all gas connections have been made, make sure the heater and all gas outlets are turned off before
the main gas supply is turned on slowly. Turn the gas supply pressure on and check for leaks.
k)
If a 2nd stage regulator is used, the ball valve before the heater in the supply line must be closed when
purging the gas lines to prevent gas seeping through it. If initial gas pressure is higher than 14” W.C. the
redundant combination gas valve is designed to lock out. Pressure build-up in the supply lines prior to the
heater must be released before proper heater operation.
l)
High gas pressure regulators need to be installed upstream of flexible gas lines.
The entire gas supply system must be checked for leaks prior to heater operation. Do not use an
open flame of any kind to test for leaks.
