GAS SUPPLY
WARNING! Do not attempt to convert this water heater for use with a dierent type of gas other
than the type shown on the rating plate. Such conversion could result in hazardous operating conditions.
Please have a professional connect the gas pipe.
!

In regards to the HOT WATER OUTLET:
• Connections between the water heater and point(s) of use should be
as short and direct as possible.
• DO NOT use lead or non-approved plastic pipe.
• To conserve energy and minimize heat loss, insulation of hot water
piping is recommended.
NOTICE! The ow rate of hot water may vary when more than two
faucets (appliances, xtures, ect.) are being used simultaneously.
NOTICE! The pipes MUST be completely drainable. If hot water
faucets are located at a point higher than the water heater, place a
drain valve at the lowest point (see top diagram).

• A Manual Gas Appliance Shut-o Valve must be installed at the
gas connection of the water heater at the time of installation (see
bottom diagram). The branch gas supply line to the water heater
should be clean black steel pipe or other approved gas piping
material.
• A ground joint union or ANSI design certied semi-rigid or exible
gas appliance connector should be installed in the gas line close to
the water heater. The National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) mandates a
manual gas shut-o valve: See (NFGC) for complete instructions.
• If exible connectors are used, the maximum length shall not exceed
36”.
• It is recommended that the minimum BTUs in the ex and gas lines
be 1” black steel, ex rated at a minimum of 150,000 BTUs.
• If lever type gas shut-os are used, they shall be T-Handle type.
• Compound used on the threaded joints of the gas piping must be of
the type resistant to the action of LPG. Use compound sparingly on
male threads only.
• A sediment trap should be installed at the bottom of the gas line.
• Do not use excessive force (over 31.5 ft lbs.) in tightening the pipe,
particularly if pipe-tape compound is used, as the water heater may
be damaged.
• The inlet gas pressure to the water heater must not exceed 10.5” w.c.
for NG or 14” w.c. for LPG. For purposes of input adjustment, the
minimum inlet gas pressure (with main burner on) is shown on the
water heater rating plate. If high or low gas pressures are present,
contact your gas supplier for correction.
DO NOT use excessive force (over 31.5 ft lbs.) in tightening the pipe, particularly if pipe compound is used, as the
water heater may be damaged.
Compound used on the threaded joints of the gas piping must be of the type resistant to the action of LPG. Use
compound sparingly and use on male threads only.
