INSTALLATION
Continued
Installation must include an equipment shutoff
valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Lo-
cate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook
up. NPT tap must be upstream from replace
(see Figure 22).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve
in an accessible location. Equipment shutoff
valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to
the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special
requirements for locating equipment shutoff
valve to replaces.
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 replace valves.
