Connect the Gas Supply Line
Check the Rating Plate attached by a steel cable to the
firebox, to confirm that you have the appropriate firebox
for the type of fuel to be used. The Radiance may be
converted from one gas to another using the appropri-
ate Fuel Conversion Kit listed on Page 45.
In the U.S.; Gas connection should be made in ac-
cordance with current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54. Since some municipalities have
additional local codes, be sure to consult your local
authority.
In Canada; consult the local authority and CSA-B149.1
installation code.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an
open flame for leak testing.
Light the pilot according to the directions on Page 30,
before going to the next step.
This appliance should only be connected
by a qualified gas technician. Test to
confirm manifold pressures as specified
below.
The Radiance Heater and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The Radiance Heater must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its indi-
vidual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
There must be a gas shutoff between the stove
and the supply.
In order to connect Natural Gas, use a fitting
with 1/2” NPT on the valve side and 1/2” natural
gas supply line with an input of 38,000 BTUs at a
manifold pressure of 3.5” between minimum inlet
supply of 5.5” w.c. and maximum of 14.0” w.c.
In order to connect Propane, use a fitting with 1/2”
NPT on the valve side and 1/2” propane gas sup-
ply line with an input of 36,000 BTUs at a manifold
pressure of 10.0” between a minimum inlet supply
of 11.0” w.c. and maximum of 14.0” w.c.
CAUTION
