Air tube insertion length (UTL)
• Usable air tube length (UTL) is the distance from mounting fl ange to
end of air tube.
• Verify that the end of the air tube will be fl ush with, or no more than
¼ inch short of, the inside of the appliance combustion chamber front
wall when the burner is mounted. See Figure 3, page 6.
• Minimum UTL is 1¾ inches. Maximum UTL is tube length less 1¾
inches. Tubes are available in 6-inch, 9-inch and 12-inch lengths.
• Notice that the fl ameholder may extend slightly into chamber as
shown.
Ceramic fi ber or
Fiberglass insulation
Ceramic fi ber materials, such as chamber liners, may
contain carcinogenic particles (chrystobalites) after
exposure to heat. Airborne particles from fi berglass or
ceramic fi ber components have been listed as poten-
tially carcinogenic by the State of California. Take the
following precautions when removing, replacing and
handling these items.
Avoid breathing dust and avoid contact with skin
or eyes. Wear long-sleeved, loose-fi tting clothing,
gloves and eye protection. Use a NIOSH N95 certifi ed
respirator. This respirator meets requirements for
protection from chrystobalites. Actual job requirements
or NIOSH regulations may require other or additional
protection. For information, refer to the NIOSH website,
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html.
Ceramic fi ber removal: To prevent airborne dust, thor-
oughly wet ceramic fi ber with water before handling.
Place ceramic fi ber materials in a plastic bag and seal
to dispose.
Avoid blowing, tearing, sawing or spraying fi ber-
glass or ceramic fi ber materials. If such operations are
necessary, wear extra protection to prevent breathing
dust.
Wash work clothes separately from other laundry.
Rinse clothes washer thoroughly afterwards to prevent
contamination of other clothing.
NIOSH First aid procedures:
Eye exposure — irrigate immediately
Breathing — fresh air.
Prepare appliance for burner mounting
The universal fl ange supplied with G3B Gas burners is
intended only for fi ring chambers with negative overfi re
pressure. The G3B burner must not be installed on a product
that operates with a pressurized combustion chamber. Failure
to comply could result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
