Installing Bottom Bracket
(See Figure 10)
1. Install bottom bracket to heater
bottom with two screws. It may
be more convienent to remove
heater from wall mounting
bracket to attach bottom bracket
2. Place heater on mounting
bracket
3. Locate two bottom mounting
holes on wall. These holes are
near bottom on heater (see
Figure 10).
4. Mark screw locations on wall.
5. Remove heater from mounting
bracket.
6. If installing bottom mounting
screws into hollow or solid wall,
install wall anchors. Follow
steps 1 through 4 under Attach
ing To Wall Anchor Method. If

CONNECTING TO GAS
SUPPLY
incoming gas pressure to between
11 and 14 inches of water. If you
do not reduce incoming gas
pressure, heater regulator damage
could occur. Install external
regulator with the vent pointing
down as shown in Figure 11.
Pointing the vent down protects it
from freezing rain or sleet.
Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters
All models up to 20,000 BTU’s use
3/8’’ or greater pipe;
All models 25,000 BTU’s and higher,
use 1/2” or greater pipe.
Installation must include an equip-
ment shutoff valve, union, and
plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT
tap within reach for test gauge hook
up. NPT tap must be upstream from
heater(see Figure 12).
installing bottom mounting
screw into wall stud, drill holes
at marked locations using 9/64"
drill bit.
7. Replace heater onto mounting
bracket.
8. Tighten both screws until heater
is firmly secured to wall. Do not
over tighten.

INSTALLATION NEEDS
Before installing heater, make sure
you have the items listed below.
l piping (check local codes)
l sealant (resistant to Propane/
LP gas)
l equipment shutoff valve*
l ground joint union
l test gauge connection*
l sediment trap
l tee joint
l pipe wrench
*A CSA/AGA design-certified
equipment shutoff valve with 1/8"
NPT tap is an acceptable alternative
to test gauge connection.
The installer must supply an
external regulator. The external
regulator will reduce incoming gas
pressure. You must reduce
CAUTION: Never connect
heater directly to the propane/
LP supply. This heater requires
an external regulator (not
supplied). Install the external
regulator between the heater
and propane/LP supply.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas.
Check your local codes. Use
pipe of large enough diameter
to allow proper gas volume to
heater. If pipe is too small,
WARNING:Do not over
tighten gas connections.
WARNING: A qualified
service person must connect
heater to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 3/8" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) inlet connection
to the pressure regulator.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to
liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
CAUTION: Avoid damage
to regulator. Hold gas regulator
with wrench when connecting to
gas piping and/or fittings.
