INSTALLATION ITEMS

Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below:
• piping (check local codes)

• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• manual shutoff valve *

• ground joint union

• test gauge connection * (see Figure 12,

page 8)

• sediment trap

• tee joint

• pipe wrench

NOTICE: A qualified service per-
son must install heater. Follow
all local codes.

* An A.G.A. design-certified manual shutoff
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable
alternative to test gauge connection. Pur-
chase the optional A.G.A. design-certified
manual shutoff valve from your dealer. See
Accessories, page 14.

WARNING: Maintain the mini-

mum clearances shown in Figure

ances from floor, ceiling, and join-
ing wall.

IMPORTANT:

Vent-free heaters add mois-

ture 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 Com-
bustion and Ventilation,
pages 3 through 5.

CAUTION: This heater cre-

ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to heater. Installing
heater next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating heater
where impurities in the air (such
as tobacco smoke) exist, may
discolor walls.

WARNING:

Never install the heater
• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture,

clothing, or other flammable
objects are less than 36 inches
from the front, top, or sides of
the heater

• as a fireplace insert
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas

You can locate model CGN20 and CGN20L
on the floor, away from a wall. An optional
floor mounting stand is needed. Purchase
the floor mounting stand from your dealer.
See Accessories, page 15.

LOCATING HEATER

This heater is designed to be mounted on a
wall.

CAUTION: If you install the

ning to use fan, locate heater near an electri-
cal outlet.
