GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the burner system you are installing. If you have conflicting gas types, do
not install burner system. See dealer where you purchased the stove and burner system for proper
burner system according to your gas type.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO APPLIANCE
Installation Items Needed
Before installing the appliance make sure you have the items listed below.
•
External regulator (supplied by installer)
•
Piping (check local codes)
•
Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
•
Equipment shutoff valve *
•
Test gauge connection *
•
Sediment trap
•
Tee joint
•
Pipe wrench
∗ An CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative
to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your
dealer.
Warning: A qualified installer or
service person must connect burner
system to gas supply. Follow all local
codes.
CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never connect burner system directly to the propane/LP
supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external
regulator between the burner system and propane/LP supply.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external
regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between
11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator
damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in. Pointing
the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from burner system.
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The
main gas valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may be
used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to burner system. If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to
stoves.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into
pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged burner system valves.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line. Locate sediment trap/drip
leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner
system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap
traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into burner system gas controls. If
sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may not run properly.
