Installation (cont.)
Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (propane or NG). We recommend that you
install a sediment trap in a supply line, which traps moisture and contaminants. The
sediment trap should be located within reach for cleaning and where it is not likely to freeze. Install it in the
piping system between the fuel supply and heater. This keeps contaminants from getting into the heater
controls. The heater may not run properly if the sediment trap is not installed or is installed incorrectly.
CAUTION
Avoid damage to the regulator. Hold the gas regulator with a wrench when connecting
into gas piping and/or ttings. NG Models: 5" to 7" W.C. Your gas supplier provides an
external regulator for natural gas.
CAUTION
INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED (NOT PROVIDED):
• 8" Adjustable Wrench
• 8" Pipe Wrench
• 3/8" Flexible Gas Line (24" Min.) or 1/2" Black Pipe
• 90 Deg. 3/8 NPT x 3/8" Flare Fitting or 3/8" Street Elbow
• Sealant (Resistant to natural or propane/LP gas)
• Shuto Valve
1. Depending on where your gas supply line is located, a variety of options are possible for routing the gas
connection lines. First, install the 3/8" tting to the heater regulator using sealant. Direct the attachment
either left or right toward the gas supply line.
NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit concealed gas connections. Check your local building code
before using a exible gas line for this installation.
2. Install the gas line to the 90 deg. tting, and attach it to the shuto valve (see Fig. 12 & 13). Depending on your
connection, it might be necessary to cut and access the hole in the side or bottom of the mantel cabinet.
3. Check all connections for gas leaks.
