manual abstract
This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas. IMPORTANT: For natural gas, check gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater than 10.5 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator damage could occur. CAUTION: For propane/LP gas, never connect heater directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install theexternalregulatorbetweenthe heater and propane/LP supply. For propane/LP gas, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install the external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 14. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet. Vent Pointing Down Propane/LP Supply Tank External Regulator Figure 14 - External Regulator With Vent Pointing Down Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters 20,000 Btu/Hr Models - 3/8" or greater 30,000 Btu/Hr Models - 1/2" or greater Installation must include equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8” NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure 15, page 13) . IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance. Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves. WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas. Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 15, page 13. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed wrong, heater may not run properly. IMPORTANT: Hold the pressure regulator with wrench when connecting it to gas piping and/or fittings. Do not over tighten pipe connection to regulator. The regulator body could be damaged. 107882-01K INSTALLATION Continued Note: Burner bracket not shown for clarity Test Gauge Connection* Sediment Trap Pressure Regulator Tee Joint Pipe Nipple 3/8" NPT Pipe Nipple Heater Cabinet Equipment Shutoff Valve * 3" Minimum Natural Gas Ground Joint Union Tee Joint Reducer Bushing to 1/8" NPT 1/8" NPT Plug Tap Cap From Gas Meter (4" W.C. to 10.5" W.C.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS WARNING:Testallgaspiping and connections, internal and external to unit, for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct all leaks at once. WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for a leak. Applyanoncorrosiveleakdetection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once. CAUTION: For propane/LP gas, make sure external regulator has been installed between propane/LP supply and heater. See guidelines under Connecting to Gas Supply, page 12. PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa) 1. Disconnect appliance with its appliance main gas valve (control valve) and equipment shutoff valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 psig will damage heater regulator. 2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was connected. 3. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas, or using compressed air. 4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. 5. Correct all leaks at once. 6. Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. Check reconnected fittings for leaks. Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa) 1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 16). 2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas, or using compressed air. 3. Check all joints from gas meter for natural gas (see Figure 17, page 14) or propane/LP supply tank for propane/LP gas, to equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 18, page 14).Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. 4. Correct all leaks at once. Open Equipment Shutoff Valve Closed Figure 16 - Equipment Shut...
