• The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36“.

In absence of local codes, install the appliance to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
Installation Code which can be obtained from:
American National Standards Institute Inc. or
National Fire Protection Association Inc.

New York, NY 10018 Quincy, MA 02269
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). When
installed with a blower the junction box must be electrically
connected and grounded in accordance with local codes.
In the absense of local codes, use the current ANSI / NFPA
70 National Electric Code. In the case where the blower
is equipped with a power cord it must be connected into a
properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must not
be removed from the cord plug.
As long as the required clearance to combustibles is
maintained, the most desirable and benefi cial location for the
appliance is in the center of a building, thereby allowing the
most effi cient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the room where
the appliance is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent
will pass through the house without cutting a fl oor or roof joist.

hearth products be installed
