INSTALLATION

GAS PIPE PRESSURE

TESTING

The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
(3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at
pressures over 1/2 psig.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked
at the pressure test point.

Note: To properly check gas pressure, both

inlet and manifold pressures should
be checked using the valve pressure
ports on the valve.

1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" posi-

tion.

2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure

tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a

1/8" wide fl at screwdriver.

3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"

pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"

position.

5) The pressure check should be carried out

with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specifi ed on the safety
label.

6) When fi nished reading manometer, turn

off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" fl at
screwdriver. Note: Screw should be snug,
but do not over tighten.

Connection

For USA installations follow local codes and/or
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1.

When using copper or fl ex connectors use only
approved fi ttings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and fl ex
connectors are usually considered to meet this
requirement.

Important: Always check for gas leaks with a
soap and water solution or gas leak detector.
Do not use open fl ame for leak testing.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT

HIGH ELEVATION

This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0
to 4500 ft. (CAN1 2.17-M91).

GAS LINE

INSTALLATION

The gas line can be brought through either the
right, the left side or the bottom of the appli-
ance. The gas valve is situated on the bottom
of the unit.

The gas line connection may be made of rigid
pipe, copper pipe or an approved fl ex connec-
tor. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the
valve can be removed for servicing.) Since some
municipalities have additional local codes it is
always best to consult with your local authorities
and the CAN/CGA B149 installation code.

Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct
fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames:
1 fl owing around the thermopile, 1 around
the thermocouple and 1 fl owing across the
burner (it does not have to be touching the
burner).

Note: If you have an incorrect fl ame pat-

tern, contact your Regency dealer for
further instructions.

Incorrect fl ame pattern will have small, prob-
ably yellow fl ames, not coming into proper
contact with the rear burner or thermopile or
thermocouple.
