The Contemporary by Blaze King Owners Installation and Operation Manual
EXISTING GAS SUPPLY
Before interrupting the existing gas supply it is recommended that the following be checked.
Shut down all gas appliances and carry out a pressure test to insure there are no existing leaks in the system.
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have purchased is
designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the certification label and also on the
appliance’s gas valve.
Check the gas pressure to insure you will be able to supply the minimum inlet pressure for the appliance.
Check your pipe sizing to insure sufficient volume will be supplied to the appliance.
Provide adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections.
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas appliance. The line must be properly
sized and fitted according to the installation codes. The installation must provide an easily accessible manual shut-off
valve, upstream of the appliance supply connection.
When test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) are used, the appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa), the
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve. Failure to
follow these instructions will damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening the set-screw on the inlet pressure tap (marked IN) on the gas valve
with a small screw driver and placing a test gauge on the tap.
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 5.0 in. w.c. (1.24 kPa) for natural gas and 12.0 in. w.c. (3.00 kPa) for
propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in. w.c. (3.48 kPa) or 1/2 psi. for both natural gas and
propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET-SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE PRESSURE. CHECK ALL GAS
CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS.
GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
Installation Instructions (Gas Supply)
ONLY PERSONS LICENSED TO WORK WITH GAS PIPING MAY MAKE THE NECESSARY GAS CONNECTION TO
THIS APPLIANCE. YOU ARE NOW READY TO HOOK UP THE GAS SUPPLY. BE SURE GAS PLUMBING
INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL STATE/PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL CODES ARE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED. USE
APPROVED FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTIONS OR RIGID PIPING, DEPENDING ON PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL
CODES, TO ATTACH BURNER TO GAS SUPPLY. BE SURE TO USE PROPER SIZE GAS SUPPLY LINE.
CAREFULLY CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS WITH SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION.
EACH INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL, STATE/PROVINCIAL AND NATIONAL CODES. REFER
TO THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, LOCAL ZONING AND CODE AUTHORITIES FOR DETAILS ON
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.
Pedestal Cover Removal
The pedestal cover must be carefully removed to access the gas valve and connections. To remove the pedestal cover
remove the 4 screws on the sides of the pedestal. Carefully lift the pedestal cover slightly as you pull it forward off of the
unit. The lifting is required so that you do not scratch up the base. When the cover is removed you should have easy
access for connections and testing purposes. When placing the pedestal cover back on the unit, use the same caution.
Carefully lift the cover and slide it over the pedestal, so that you do not scratch the base. Then replace the 4 screws on the
sides of the pedestal.
