Installation must conform to local codes. In
the absence of local codes, installation must
comply with the current National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54). (In Canada, the current
CAN/CGA B149 installation code.) Electrical
wiring must comply with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, installation must be in
accordance with the National Electrical Code,
NFPA 70 - (latest edition). (In Canada, the current
CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code.)

RIAL IN THESE APPLIANCES.
Nominal operating pressures for the manifold
side of the gas control system are; 3.5 inches
water column (0.87 kPa) for natural gas models
and 10 inches water column (2.49 kPa) for
propane gas models.
Test gage connections are provided on the front
of the millivolt gas control valve (identified E
for the inlet and A for the manifold side, see
Figure 2 ). A 1/8" NPT test gage connection
is provided at the inlet and manifold side of
the electronic gas control valve (Figure 3 ).
Minimum inlet gas pressure to the appliance is
4.5 inches water column (1.24 kPa) for natural
gas and 11 inches water column (2.74 kPa) for
propane for the purpose of input adjustment.
Maximum inlet gas supply pressure to the ap-
pliance is 10.5 inches water column (2.62 kPa)
for natural gas and 13.0 inches water column
(3.23 kPa) for propane.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system (by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve) during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa).
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa).
These appliances must not be connected to a
chimney or flue serving a separate solid fuel
burning appliance.
Input of appliance is 24,000 BTU/HR.
