GAS REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Any product revisions or conversions
must be made by the Manufacturer’s Authorized
Dealers, Distributors or local service personnel.
IMPORTANT: The installation must comply with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes:
• with the latest edition of the “National Fuel
Gas Code”, ANSI Z223.1 in the U.S.A.
• with CAN1-B149.1 or CAN1-B149.2 in
Canada
• and Australian Gas Association/Australian
L.P. Gas Association requirements in Australia
The size of gas service pipe is dependent upon many
variables (lengths, tees, etc.). Specific pipe size
information should be obtained from the gas supplier.
Refer to Table 2 for general pipe size.
A dirt and water vapor pipe trap must be furnished and
installed by customer. Refer to Figure 6.
It is important that equal pressure be maintained at all
tumbler gas connections. This can best be done by
installing a one inch (2.54 cm) pipe gas loop. Refer to
Figure 7.
NATURAL GAS service must be supplied at 6-1/2 ±
1-1/2 inch water column pressure (1.62 ± .37 kPa).
L.P. GAS service must be supplied at 11 ± .3 inch water
column pressure (2.74 ± .07 kPa).
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, DO
NOT CONNECT THE GAS LINE TO THE
TUMBLER IF THE GAS SERVICE IS NOT
THE SAME AS THAT SPECIFIED ON THE
TUMBLER SERIAL PLATE! It will first be
necessary to convert the gas burner
orifice and gas valve. Appropriate
conversion kits are available.

WARNING
The tumbler and its individual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The tumbler must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressure equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, if
the tumbler is to be connected to
Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) gas, a vent to
