Installation Items Needed (Not Provided)

• 8'' Adjustable Wrench

• 8'' Pipe Wrench

• 1/2'' Flexible Gas Line (24'' Min.) or 1/2'' Black Pipe

• 90 Deg. 3/8 NPT x 1/2'' Flare Fitting or 3/8 NPT x 1/2 NPT

• Sealant (Resistant to Propane (LP) Gas)

• Shut O Valve

• Allen Wrench

1) A variety of options are possible for routing the Gas Connection Lines depending on where your

Gas Supply line is located.

NOTICE: Most building codes do not permit concealed gas connections. Check your local building

code prior to using a Flexible Gas Line for this installation.

2) Identify the gas inlet on the Heater that corresponds to the fuel type for your installation. Remove

the threaded plug by turning counterclockwise.

Install a 90 degree tting - not included). Be sure to use a gas resistant sealant on the 3/8 NPT tting.

Position the tting so the inlet line can be attached without binding.

3) Install the Gas Line to the 90 Deg. tting and attach to the Shut O Valve.

4) Check all connections for gas leaks.

5) Install receiver and plastic Heat shield by attaching the (2) wires from the receiver to the (2) wires

from the Gas Control Valve insuring you match the wire colors. Place the receiver on the replace oor

adjacent and slightly behind the Gas Valve control knob with the sensor eye facing toward the room.

CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (PROPANE or NG). We

recommend that you install a sediment trap in a supply line. Locate sediment trap where it is within

reach for cleaning and not likely to freeze. Install in the piping system between fuel supply and

heater. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater

controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed incorrectly, heater may not run properly.

CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting into gas

piping and/or ttings. NG Models: 6 in. to 14 in. W.C. Gas supplier provides external regulator for

natural gas.
