The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). When
installed with a blower the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local
codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current ANSI / NFPA 70 National Electric Code. In the case
where the blower is equipped with a power cord it must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle.
The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.
As long as the required clearance to combustibles is maintained,
the most desirable and bene
fi
cial location for the appliance is in the
center of a building, thereby allowing the most ef
fi
cient use of the
heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traf
fi
c
fl
ow in
the room where the appliance is to be located should be considered.
If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other
combustible material other than wood
fl
ooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth.
NOTE: This does not apply to stoves.
