Connecting the gas piping to the gas control valve of the water
heater can be accomplished by either of the two methods shown in
Figures 9 and 10.
sedIMent traps
A sediment trap shall be installed as close to the inlet of the water
heater as practical at the time of water heater installation. The
sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting with a capped nipple in the
bottom outlet or other device recognized as an effective sediment
trap. If a tee fitting is used, it shall be installed in conformance with
one of the methods of installation shown in Figures 9,10 and 11.

Contaminants in the gas lines may cause improper operation of the
gas control valve that may result in fire or explosion. Before attaching
the gas line be sure that all gas pipe is clean on the inside. To trap any
dirt or foreign material in the gas supply line, a drip leg (sometimes
called a sediment trap) must be incorporated in the piping. The drip
leg must be readily accessible. Install in accordance with the “Gas
Piping” section. Refer to the current edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Fuel conversions shall be completed by a qualified service
agency in accordance with the detailed conversion instructions
and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. The information in these instructions must be followed to
minimize the risk of fire or explosion and to prevent property damage,

for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper and
complete until the operation of the appliance is checked as specified
in the manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Read and follow detailed conversion instructions below and also
on the heater.
2. The conversion kit with necessary parts are in a bag attached to
the side of the water heater.
3. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater.
4. Remove the outer door.
5. Rotate the thermostat dial on the water heater control
counterclockwise ( ) until the main burner ignites and burns
off all residual gas in the control and supply lines.
6. Rotate the thermostat dial clockwise ( ) back to the “PILOT
LIGHTING” position.
7. Turn the gas control knob “A” to “PILOT”. Depress knob slightly
