appliance must be converted for that use. A gas conversion should only be performed by an experienced
gas appliance technician.

valve should be at the gas supply source outdoors after the gas line exits the outer wall of the house and

enters the ground. It is highly recommended that the valve have the ability to lock when closed to prevent
accidental opening. Any locking or sercurity device cannot interfere with the ability to rapidly close the
valve in an emergency. Some locations require this locking feature by code.
