A. Fuel Conversion
Make sure the appliance is compatible with available gas
types.
Conversions must be made by a quali ed technician
using Hearth & Home Technologies specified and
approved parts.
B. Gas Pressure
Optimum appliance performance requires proper input
pressures.
Gas line sizing requirements will be determined in ANSI
Z221.3 National Fuel Gas Code in the USA and CAN/
CGA B149 in Canada.
Pressure requirements are:
C. Gas Connection
Refer to Reference Section 17 for location of gas line
access in appliance.
Gas line may be run through knockout(s) provided.
The gap between supply piping and gas access hole
may be caulked with caulk with a minimum of 300º
F continuous exposure rating or stuffed with non-
combustible, unfaced insulation to prevent cold air
in ltration.
Ensure that gas line does not come in contact with outer
wrap of the appliance. Follow local codes.
Pipe incoming gas line into valve compartment.
Connect incoming gas line to the 1/2 in. (13 mm)
connection on manual shutoff valve.
WARNING! Risk of Fire/Explosion! Support control
when attaching pipe to prevent bending gas line.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines.
WARNING! Risk of Fire/Explosion! Gas build-up during
line purge could ignite.
Purge should be performed by a quali ed technician.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Ensure there are no ignition sources such as sparks or
open ames.
Light the appliance. It will take a short time for air to purge
from lines. When purging is complete the appliance will
light and operate normally.
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Asphyxiation!
Check all ttings and connections with a non-corrosive
commercially available leak-check solution. DO NOT use
open ame. Fittings and connections could have loosened
during shipping and handling.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT change valve settings.
This valve has been preset at the factory.
WARNING! Risk of Fire/Explosion! High pressure will
damage valve. Low pressure may cause explosion.
Verify inlet pressures. Verify minimum pressures when
other household gas appliances are operating.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line pressure is
greater than 1/2 psig.

Gas Information
Gas Pressure Natural Gas Propane
Minimum inlet pressure 5.0 in. w.c. 11.0 in. w.c.
Maximum inlet pressure 10.0 in. w.c. 13.0 in. w.c.
Manifold pressure 3.5 in. w.c. 10.0 in. w.c.
Note: Have the gas supply line installed in accordance with
local codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI 223.1. Installation
should be done by a quali ed 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 tter).
Note: A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts ap-
proved) 1/2 inch (13 mm) T-handle manual shut-off valve
and exible gas connector are connected to the 1/2 inch (13
mm) control valve inlet.
If substituting for these components, please consult
local codes for compliance.
D. High Altitude Installations
NOTICE: If the heating value of the gas has been reduced,
these rules do not apply. Check with your local gas utility or
authorities having jurisdiction.
When installing above 2000 feet elevation:
In the USA: Reduce burner ori ce 4% for each 1000 feet
above 2000 feet.
In the CANADA: Reduce burner ori ce 10% for elevations
between 2000 feet and 4500 feet. Above 4500 feet,
consult local gas utility.
Fire Risk.
Explosion Hazard.
High pressure will damage valve.
• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
above 1/2 psig.
• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
