INSTALLATION
Continued
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure 14. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install
in piping system between fuel supply and heater.
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and
contaminants. This keeps them from going into
heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or
is installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

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 14).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in
an accessible location within 6 feet of the appli-
ance. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning
on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result
in clogged heater valves.
