OFP42N / OFP42LP Gas Line Installation
This gas appliance should be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with local building codes and with current CAN/CGA
- B149.1 or .2 installation codes for Gas Burning appliances and equipment in Canada and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223 in the U.S.A.
1. The gas pipeline can be brought in through either the left side or the bottom of the appliance. A knockout is provided at
either location to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas
connection.
2. The gas control inlet is 3/8” NPT. Typical installation layout for rigid pipe is shown
at right.
3. When using copper or flex connector, use only approved fittings. Always provide
a union so that gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing.
See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.
4. When a vertical section of gas pipe is required for the installation, a condensation
trap is needed. See CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 for code details.
5. For natural gas, a minimum of 1/2” iron pipe with gas minimum pressure of 5.5” w.c. must be used for supply from the gas
meter. Consult with the local gas utility if any questions arise concerning pipe sizes.
6. Ports are accessible for test gauge connection both on the inlet and outlet of the gas valve.
7. Turn the gas supply ON and check for leaks. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR THIS PURPOSE. Use an approved leak
testing solution.
8. 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 1/2psig [3.5 KPa].
9. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2psig [3.5 KPa].
Note: The gas line connection may be made of 1/2” rigid pipe, 1/2” copper pipe or an approved flex connector. Since some
municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authorities and the current CAN/CGA - B149.1 or
.2 installation code in Canada or the National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1 in the U.S.A.

OFP42N/OFP42LP Troubleshooting the Gas Control System
NOTE: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the “ON” position.
Problem Possible Causes Corrective Action
Spark igniter will not
light
Defective or misaligned electrode at
pilot.
Check for spark at electrode and pilot: if no spark and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace igniter.
Defective igniter
(push-button)
Using a match, light pilot, If pilot lights, turn off pilot and push
the red button again. If pilot will not light, check gap at electrode
and pilot- gap should be 1/8” to 1/4” to have a strong spark.
Pilot will not light Safety Switch is Depressed. Clear any obstructions and make sure Lever Arm is not bent or
damaged (See Panel 2 page 10 for Safety Switch Location) .
Pilot will not stay lit
after carefully following
lighting instructions.
Defective Valve Magnet Turn valve knob “ON”, place wall switch “ON”. Millivolt meter
should read greater than 100mv. If the reading is okay and the
burner does not come on, replace the gas valve.
Pilot burning, no gas to
burner, Valve knob
“ON”, Wall Switch “ON”
Wall Switch or wires defective Check wall switch and wires for proper connections. Jumper
wire across terminals at wall switch. If burner comes on, replace
defective wall switch. If okay, jumper wire across wall switch
wires at valve. If burner comes on, wires are faulty or
connections are bad.
Generator may not be generating
sufficient voltage
Check generator with millivolt meter. Take reading at generator
terminals of gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum
while holding valve knob depressed in pilot position and wall
switch “OFF”. Replace faulty generator if reading is below
specified minimum.
Plugged burner orifice Check burner orifice for stoppage and remove.
Defective automatic valve operator Remove all switch wires from gas valve. Install jumper wires
from TPTH and TH terminals of gas valve. Turn valve “ON”. If
main burner does not light, replace valve.
Frequent Pilot outage
problem
Pilot flame may be too low or blowing
(high) causing the pilot safety to drop
out.
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame impingement
on generator .
Windy Conditions. Close Pullscreens
OFP42N/OFP42LP -Cleaning -
