CONNECTINGTOGASSUPPLY
WARNING: Aqualified technician must connect heatertogassupply. Followall localcodes.
CAUTION: Neverconnect heaterdirectlytothegassupply. Thisheaterrequiresan externalregulator
(not supplied). Theexternalregulatorbetweenthegassupplyandheatermust be installed.
INSTALLATIONITEMSNEEDED
Beforeinstallingheater, makesureyouhavetheitemslisted below:
· piping(checklocalcodes)
· sealant (resistant topropane/LPgas)
· equipment shutoff valve*
· test gauge connection**
· sediment trap
· tee joint
· pipe wrench
· flexiblegas(checklocalcode)
*ACSA design-certified equipment shutoff valvewith1/8-inchNPTtapisan acceptablealternativetotest
gauge connection. PurchasetheoptionalCSA design-certified equipment shutoff valvefromyourdealer.
WARNING: Neverconnect heatertoprivate(non-utility)gaswells. Thisgasiscommonlyknownas
wellheadgas.
Theinstallermust supplyan externalregulator. Theexternalregulatorwill reduceincominggaspressure. You
must reduceincominggaspressuretobetween11 and14 inchesofwatercolumnforpropaneandbetween5
and10.5inchesofwatercolumnfornaturalgas. If youdo not reduceincominggaspressure, heaterregulator
damage couldoccur. Install externalregulatorwiththevent pointingdownasshowninFigure12. Pointingthe
