June 09
1. Connect to the supply tank or manifold in accordance with the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI
Z223.1), and local building codes. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation
is made. (In Canada, refer to the latest edition of CAN Standard B.149-1 and -2, Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment.)
2. All gas supply lines must be located in accordance with the required clearances to combustibles below the
heater as listed on the nameplate of the heater.
3. Pipe joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
4. Where local codes do not prohibit, a CSA or U.L. approved flexible connector (minimum 5/8" I.D.) is
recommended between the rigid piping and the heater. A union and an approved shut off valve should be
installed before the control valve inlet. The shut off valve should be installed within 6 feet of the union.
5. This appliance is equipped with a snap-opening, combination gas valve. The maximum supply pressure to the
appliance is 14" W.C. or 1/2 P.S.I. If the line pressure is more than the maximum supply pressure, then a
second stage regulator which corresponds to the supply pressure must be used.
6. If a second stage regulator is used and gas seeps through it, the redundant combination gas valve is designed
to lock out. Pressure build-up in the supply lines prior to the heater must be released before proper heater
operation.
7. After all gas connections have been made, make sure the heater and all gas outlets are turned off before the
main gas supply is turned on. Turn the gas pressure on and check for leaks. To check for leaks, apply a
soapsuds solution to all connections and joints or check by one of the methods listed in Appendix D of the
National Fuel Gas Code.
Do not use an open flame of any kind to test for leaks.

10) INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESSURE TEST GAUGE CONNECTION
Supply Pressure
1. The installer will provide a 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the heater.
Manifold Pressure
1. Turn the gas valve to the "OFF" position. Remove the 1/8" plug from the manifold downstream from the
combination gas valve at one of the outlet pressure taps and connect a 1/8" nipple to the tapped hole.
Connect the gauge to the nipple. Turn on the gas supply.
2. With the main burner operating, check the burner manifold pressure using a water manometer. Gauges
that measure pressure in pounds per square inch are not accurate enough to measure or set the manifold
pressure. All measurements MUST BE made when this heater and all other gas burning equipment that is
connected to the gas supply system are operating at maximum capacity.
3. The combination gas valve is factory set and should not require adjustment. If full rate adjustment is
required, remove the cover screw. Using a small screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw clockwise

12) VENTILATION
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury, property
damage or illness from Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
Heaters installed in an unvented mode require a minimum
ventilation flow of 4 CFM per 1,000 Btu/hr of total installed
capacity.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Where unvented infrared heaters are used, natural or mechanical means shall be provided to supply and exhaust
at least 4 cfm per 1000 Btu per hr input of installed heaters.
Exhaust openings for removing flue products shall be above the level of the heaters.
This heater requires ventilation in the building to dilute the product of combustion and provide fresh air for
efficient combustion. Power ventilation is recommended, and the minimum vent flow required is as follows:
SGM3 = 109 cfm SGM6 = 218 cfm SGM10 = 436 cfm
If gravity ventilation is used, the required square feet of inlet and outlet vent area (depending on height and
temperature difference) is as follows:
SGM3 = 0.4 s/f SGM6 = 0.8 s/f SGM10 = 1.6 s/f
The General Ventilation Rules outlined in the ASHRAE GUIDE AND DATA BOOK should be observed when locating
vents. Exhaust vents must be located at the highest point above and in the vicinity of the heaters and the inlet
nets must be located below the level of the heaters.
