Step 2. ROUTE GAS SUPPLY LINE
Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line as shown in
Figure 11. Gas lines must be routed, con-
structed and made of materials that are in strict
accordance with local codes and regulations.
The appliance, as set up at the factory, is best
suited for use with a gas line routed from the
right side. The gas line may however be alter-
nately routed from the left side. All appliances
are factory-equipped with a flexible gas line
connector and 1/2 inch shutoff valve. (See
Step 6 on Page 14).

Proper Sizing of Gas Line
Properly size and route the gas supply line
from the supply regulator to the area where
the appliance is to be installed per require-
ments outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code,
NFPA 54 - latest edition (USA) or B149 - latest
edition (Canada).
Notes:
• All appliances are factory-equipped with a
flexible gas line connector and 1/2 inch shutoff
valve (see Figure 20 on Page 15).
• SeeMassachusetts Requirements on Page 4
for additional requirements for installations in
the state of Massachusetts in the USA.
• ThegassupplylineshouldNotbeconnected
to the appliance until Step 6 (Page 14).
• Apipejointcompoundratedforgasshouldbe
used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane
applications. Be very careful that the pipe
compound does not get inside the pipe.
• Itisrecommendedtoinstallasedimenttrap
in the supply line as close as possible to the
appliance (see Figure 20, Page 15). Appliances
using propane should have a sediment trap at
the base of the tank.
• Checkwithlocalbuildingofcialforlocalcode
requirements (i.e. are below grade penetrations
of the gas line allowed?, etc).
IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that
if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100-lbs, if
this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling.
Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure,
resulting in insufficient fuel delivery (which
can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition
or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting
from an improper installation, such as this, is
not covered under the limited warranty.
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer
to Table 7 for proper sizing of the gas supply
line, if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines
must be routed, constructed and made of
materials that are in strict accordance with
local codes and regulations. We recommend
that a qualified individual such as a plumber
or gas fitter be hired to correctly size and route
the gas supply line to the appliance. Installing
a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the
appliance involves numerous considerations of
materials, protection, sizing, locations, controls,
pressure, sediment, and more. Certainly no one
unfamiliar and unqualified should attempt sizing
or installing gas piping.
