Heater Placement Requirements
¥ Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent
¥ Due to the high temperature of the heater, it should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies. Heater must be placed so no combustibles are within, or can
swing within 36Ó of the front of the heater (e.g. drapes, doors)
? When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet, the installation
is considered an alcove and must meet the following requirements:
¥
The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 58Ó tall
¥ The alcove must not be more than 45Ó deep before the ceiling returns to 7Õ
¥ The alcove must be at least 42Ó wide
¥ The heater must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of
heater, or along the back of the heater can become blocked.
Floor Protection Requirements
¥ When the stove is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl or other combustible material other
than wood flooring or a high pressure laminate wood floor, the stove must be installed on
a metal or wood protection panel extending the full width and depth of the heater
(Minimum 22-1/8Ó wide by 15-5/8Ó deep).
Gas Line Installation
! The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow
current ANSI Z223.1 or NFPA 54 in the USA and the current CGA B149 in Canada.
! 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.
¥ This heater is designed for natural gas but can be
converted to propane. Check the sticker on the top of
the gas control valve to verify the correct fuel is used.
¥ Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior
to and after starting the heater.
¥ The gas inlet accepts a 3/8Ó F.P.T. Fitting
¥ The location of the gas inlet is shown below
¥ A manual shutoff valve is required for installation (it must
be located within 3Õ (910 mm) of the heater)
Gas Inlet Pressure
¥ With the heater off, the inlet pressure must meet the
requirements listed in the table below
5-7/8"
1/4"
3"
? 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.
? The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the
propane tank) should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed below. Contact
the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper pressure.
Standard Input Pressure
Natural Gas 7Ó W.C. (1.74 Kpa)
P r o p a n e 11Ó W.C. (2.73 Kpa)
