INSTALLATION

Flueing Requirements

A100 mm diameter fl ue is required. For cosmetic
or aesthetic purposes 6" outer fl ue can be used
as long as an approved inner fl ue is installed.
Fasten but do not penetrate the inner sleeve of
the fl ue when tightening the screw.

The minimum fl ue required is 3.3m from fl oor
level.

Follow all fl ueing manufacturer’s requirements
and local building codes or AS5601-2004.

GAS CONNECTION

The gas line should be rigid pipe. Copper may
also be used if approved by AS5601-2004.

The gas connection at the valve is 1/2 male.
For minimum and maximum supply pressure
see the System Data Table.

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 3.45 kPa (14" w.c.).

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" (# 7) and/or "OUT" (# 6)

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. Screw should be snug, but do
not over tighten.
