! The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow current ANSI
Z223.1 or NFPA 54.
! The heater and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPA). For pressures
under 1/2 psig (3.45 kPA), isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.
N O T E : The gas inlet may pass close
to the blower - we suggest
you install the blower first or
provide adequate clearance.
• This heater is designed for natural gas
but can be converted to propane. Check

• If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough and the total gas load
for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.

tank) should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed below. Contact the local gas
supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.
