Step 7. CONNECTING GAS LINE

Make gas line connections. Codes require a

shut-off valve mounted in the supply line.

Figure

40 illustrates two methods for connecting the

gas supply. The flex-line method is acceptable

in the U.S., however, Canadian requirements

vary depending on locality. Installation must

be in compliance with local codes.
These appliances are equipped with a gas flex

line for use (where permitted) in connecting the

unit to the gas line. A gas flex line is provided

to aid in attaching the direct vent appliance to

the gas supply. The gas flex line can only be

used where local codes permit. See

Figure 40

for flex line description. The flex line is rated for

both natural and propane gas. A manual shut off

valve is also provided with the flex line.

If required, access the valve (see

Figure 39 ) by

opening the lower control panel (see instruction

sheet provided with the facade kit for additional

information about the control panel).

The millivolt and electronic control valve has a

3/8" (10 mm) NPT thread inlet port.

Bring the shutoff valve on the end of the flex line

over to the hard pipe and tighten with wrenches

from above through the firebox opening.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate

tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane

resistant compounds are used in propane

applications).

Optional: Seal around the gas line to prevent

cold air leakage.

WARNING

Never use an open flame to

check for leaks.

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a

gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble

leak solution). Note: Using a soapy water solution

(50% dish soap, 50% water) is an effective leak

test solution but it is not recommended, because

the soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings

can result in corrosion over time.

Note: The gas supply line

must be installed in accor-

dance with building codes

by a qualified installer

approved and/or licensed

as required by the locality.

In the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts, installation

must be performed by a

licensed plumber or gas

fitter.

*A Sediment Trap is recom-

mended to prevent moisture

and debris in gas line from

damaging the valve.

GAS CONNECTION

A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting instruc-

tions label in control compartment or care and

operation manual).

B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas

leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles

are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the

gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the “OFF”

position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking

connection, then retest as described above.

C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free be

sure to rinse off the leak testing solution,

D. Turn on burner then observe the individual

tongues of flame on the burner. Make sure

all ports are open and producing flame evenly

across the burner. If any ports are blocked, or

partially blocked, clean out the ports.
