IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the
can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your
ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors
in the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor
or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a
gas odor can make it easier to smell.
The odorant in LP-Gas is colorless, and it can fade under some
circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the
in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if
there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls,
masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take
some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. You may not know all the following safety precau-
tions which can protect both you and your family from an
accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point
by point with the members of your household. Someday
when there may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety
will depend on knowing exactly what to do. If, after read-
ing the following information, you feel you still need more
information, please contact your gas supplier.

the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if
there has been a leak of LP-Gas.

be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders
are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or
out of service for a time may develop internal rust which will
cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a
periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any
question about the gas odor, call your LP-Gas dealer. A

Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the
unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not ad-

from supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Attention! If one of the procedures results in pressures in excess
result in a hazardous condition.
Checking Manifold Pressures
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure
regulator in the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold
pressure of approximately 3.5" w.c. (.871kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 4.5" w.c.
(1.120kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold
pressure approximately 10.0" w.c. (2.49kPa) at the valve outlet
with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 10.8" w.c.
(2.68kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
14.0" w.c. (3.484kPa).

To Use the Vent Graph (Figure 19)
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal
vent pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent
Graph, locate the point it intersects with the slanted
graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical
line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the unit
in accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
not exceed 6.5 feet.
EXAMPLE B:
not exceed 14.5 feet.
SPECIAL NOTE: For each 45 degree elbow installed
in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run
MUST be reduced by 18" (45cm). This does not apply
if the 45 degree elbows are installed on the vertical part
of the vent system. Reduce 3' for every 90° elbow.
Example: According to the chart the maximum
horizontal vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree
elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be
reduced to 17'.
The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted
per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can
be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
Note:

Note: LP and Nat gas models can be top vented.
Note: Flue heat shield must be installed for venting
applications with less than two feet of vertical pipe off

total of maximum horizontal dimensions. The maximum vertical
and horizontal distances for two (2) 90° elbows as shown in Figure
is 20 feet.
Figure 19 for additional venting
requirements.
Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances
of 12" (305mm) above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended.
It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level.
The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent
pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting
system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well
with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the
termination area.

Determine the exact position of the appliance so the direct vent termination
will be centered (if possible) between two (2) studs. This will avoid any
extra framing. All vent kit pipes should be assembled on the unit after the
Cutting the Hole (Figures 25)
hole through the exterior wall of the house can be cut. This hole must be
10" (254mm) high x 10" (254mm) wide with its center line determined
by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of the termination.
See Figure 25. When locating the hole it must be noted that the bottom of
the cap must be 12" (305mm) above the ground level, and top of the cap
must be no less than 18" (457mm) below a combustible projection, and no
closer than 9" (229mm) to any wall running parallel to vent termination.
