4.9 Gas piping & connections
Before connecting the gas supply, check the rating plate on the
right side of the heater to be sure that the heater is rated for the
same gas to which it will be connected.
In the United States: The installation must conform with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
DANGER:
Explosion hazard!
▶ DO NOT connect to an unregulated or high pressure
propane line or to a high pressure commercial natural gas
line.
DANGER:
Explosion hazard!
▶ The heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures equal to or more than 0.5 psig. If overpressure
has occurred, such as through improper testing of the gas
lines or malfunction of the supply system, the gas valve
must be checked for safe operation.

▶ Install a manual gas shut off valve on the gas supply line
within easy reach of the appliance.
