New Buck Corporation GAS STOVE HEATER - Manual (Page 10)

GAS CONNECTION
Check gas type. Use only the type of
gas indicated on the valve rating
plate. If the type of gas listed on the
plate is not your type of gas
supply,DO NOT INSTALL. Contact
your dealer for proper model.
Always use an external regulator for
all LP heaters to reduce the supply
tank pressure to a maximum of 13"
W.C. This is in addition to the
regulator furnished with the heater.
Warning: Connection directly to an
unregulated LP tank can cause an
explosion.
The normal gas connection is 3/8"
NPT made at the right side facing the
log set. If a left side connection is
desired, the connecting pipe may be
routed under the rear of the burner
base to terminate at the right hand
side for connection to the inlet of the
valve.
NOTE: The connecting pipe must be
internally treated for protection from
sulfur compounds if copper tubing is
used for natural gas.
Test for leaks using a solution of soap
and water after completing the
connection. DO NOT USE OPEN
FLAME.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat. Use this
heater along with your primary
heating system. Do not install this

clothing, or other flammable
objects are less than 48 inches
from the front, top, or sides of
the heater

CAUTION:
This heater creates
warm air currents. These currents
move heat to wall surfaces next to
heater. Installing heater next to vinyl
or cloth wall coverings or operating
heater where impurities (such as
tobacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters
add moisture to the air. Although this
is beneficial, installing heater in rooms
without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, pages 4 through 5.
Maintain adequate clearances for
accessibility for the purpose of
servicing and proper operation.
