CONVERSION TO NATURAl GAS
WARNING!
• The installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and all connection must be
leak tested before operating the appliance.
• Ensure all hose connections are tightened using two wrenches. Do not use Teflon tape or
pipe dope on any hose connection.
• Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces or it may melt and leak
causing a fire.
• Locate the hose away from pathways where people may trip over it and areas where the
hose may be subject to accidental damage.
• Leak test all the connections using a soap and water solution as per the leak testing
instructions found in the manual.
Natural Gas Hook-Up
The gas appliance is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 7 inches water column. The piping up to
the appliance is the responsibility of the installer. Connect the inlet valve to rigid pipe, copper tube or an
approved flexible metal connector, which complies with Z21.4/CSA 6.10. If using a gas hose (not
supplied), connect the flanged end of the hose to the connector on the end of the inlet valve. Tighten
using two wrenches. (Do not use thread sealer/pipe dope.) Leak test all joints prior to using the
appliance. Piping and valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied. The gas supply pipe
must be sufficiently-sized to supply the BTU/h specified on the rating plate, based on the length of the
piping run. The quick disconnect must not be installed in an upward direction and a readily accessible
manual shut-off valve must be installed upstream of, and as close to, the quick disconnect as is feasible.
Purge the gas supply line of any trapped air prior to the first firing of the unit.
