Rating Plate

Information on this plate includes the model, serial number, BTU/hour input of the burners, operating

gas pressure in inches WC, and whether the appliance is orificed for natural or propane gas. When

communicating with factory about a unit or requesting special parts or information, rating plate data

is essential for proper identification.

Recommendations Before Installation

Before installing the gas supply system, observe the pipes and fittings, check the components for

dirt, clean internally with compressed air to eliminate possible particles, and prevent burners and

valves from becoming clogged.

After cleaning, use thread sealant to connect the equipment to the gas network. For correct

application, avoid concentrating the compound on the first two threads of the pipe, otherwise it may

generate particles that will clog the system injectors.

Gas Standards & Codes

IMPORTANT

FAILURE TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Installation of this appliance must be in accordance with local installation codes, including:

The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping

1 .

system during any system pressure testing when this teste pressure exceeds 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa).

The appliance shall be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the manual shut-off

2 .

valve during any pressure test of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less

than 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa).

GAS CONNECTION

The gas inlet line size of this appliance is 3/4" NPT. For proper operation, the gas supply line must be

the same size or larger. Gas line size should not be reduced at any point along the supply line.

MANUAL SHUTOFF VALVE

A gas pressure regulator and a shut-off valve supplied by the technician shall be installed in the gas service

line before the appliance - in a physical location where it can be reached quickly in an emergency.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator (which accompanies the product) is of utmost importance for its

operation and is indispensable. The pressure regulator must be installed in the product supply gas

line (failure to install the pressure regulator will void the equipment warranty).

Regulators are supplied with 3/4" NPT connection ranges. The regulator is factory set by 102mmH2O

(4" WC) water column gas pressure at connector (natural gas) and gas pressure at 254mmH2O (10"

WC) connector for LPG gas operation.

Before connecting the regulator, check the supply line pressure in the product. This may not exceed

the maximum pressure of 3.45kPa (1/2 PSI). If the gas supply line pressure is higher than indicated,

use a pressure reducing regulator.

At the bottom of the regulator body there is a gas direction arrow to minimize installation error. This

arrow should point to the device's direction of entry into the product.

The blue air vent cap on the top of the regulator is part of the regulator and should not be removed.

IMPORTANT

Visually check all inlet pipes supplied by the installer and/ or blow them out using

compressed air to clean out any dirt or debris (threads or other foreign matter) before

installing a service line. These particles will clog the gas holes when gas pressure is

applied. Compounds used in appliance pipe threaded joints shall be resistant to the

action of GN and LPG gas and shall provide a gas tight seal to prevent leakage.

When installing the pressure regulator remember that it can support 1/2 PSI (3.45kPa).

When installing LPG, you have high source pressures ranging from 20 PSI (127.89kPa)

to 100 PSI (689.48 kPa). If the LPG tank's high pressure gas line is directly connected

to a unit without the proper reduction regulator, it will rupture the diaphragm in the

valve, making it useless.

Any adjustment to the regulator should be done only by qualified and licensed

personnel with the appropriate calibrated test equipment.

Connections must be made my a licensed and qualified contractor.
