See dealer where you purchased the replace for proper
replace for your gas type or conversion kit.
Before installing replace and burner system, make sure
you have the items listed below.
• Tee joint • Pipe wrench
• Equipment shutoff valve* • Test gauge connection*
• Sediment trap (recommended)
• External regulator (supplied by installer)
• Piping (check local codes)
• Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• approved exible gas line with gas connector (if
allowed by local codes — not provided)
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve with
1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the CSA design-certied equip-
ment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply
an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce
incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas
pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do
not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regula-
tor damage could occur. Install external regulator with the
vent pointing down as shown in Figure 45. Pointing the
vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
When using copper of ex connectors use only ttings
approved for gas connections. The gas control inlet is
3/8" NPT.
