INSTALLATION
Important!
VENTILATION
A minimum building ventilation rate of 4 CFM per 1,000 BTU’s of installed heater input must be provided. This
rate of ventilation may be obtained through either gravity or mechanical ventilation of the building. In con-
junction with building ventilation system, adequate fresh air into the building must be provided through fresh
air inlets and/or building inlets. It is recommended local code be checked to assure the ventilation system and
heat installation are in compliance with local and/or state codes.
When checking for gas leaks, do not use an open flame. Use a soap and water solution.
Note:
Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment.
WARNING!
■ Periodically check the whole gas system for leaks or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
Extinguish all open flames.
■ Never leak test while smoking.
■ Do not use heater until all connections have been leak tested and do not leak.
■ When leak testing, refer to the connections diagrams.
■ Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used.
■ Substitution can void warranty.
LEAK TEST:
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent, and one
part water. The soap solution can be applied with a spray
bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present.
Turn the gas supply “ON” check for leaks at leak points. If a
leak is present, turn off supply, tighten any leaking fittings,
turn gas on and recheck.
Note:
There is a manual shut-off lever on the internal heater control
valve/regulator. This lever is shipped in the “ON” position -
