determined that the leak test solution is
noncorrosive.)
8. After completing pipework, secure the heater to
the floor. Use the 2 screws provided, as shown in
the drawing. To avoid deforming the floor plate,
do not over torque the screws.
2. The gas supply line must be gas tight, sized and

installed so as to provide a supply of a gas
sufficient to meet the maximum demand of the
heater without loss of pressure.
3. The supplied shut off valve must be installed in
the upstream of the gas line to permit servicing.
4. Flexible pipe and any appliance connector valve
used for gas piping must be types approved by
nationally recognized agencies.
5. Any compound used on the threaded joint of the
gas piping must be a type which resists the action

6. Check the gas supply pressure immediately
upstream at a location provided by the gas
company. Supplied gas pressure must be within
the limits shown in the specifications section.
