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 heater (See Figure
18, BVFB series).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment
shutoff valve in an accessible location.
The equipment shutoff valve is for
turning on or shutting off the gas to the
appliance.
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
heater valves.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to liquid
petroleum (LP) gas.
