SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS
Propane (LP-Gas) is a flammable gas which can cause fires
and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. You may not know all the following safety precautions
which can protect both you and your family from an accident.
Read them carefully now, then review them point by point
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That's your signal to go into immediate action!
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your
phone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
• LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such
as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak,
keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until
firefighters declare them to be safe.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the
odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must find out if you
can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your
ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors
in the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor
or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a
gas odor can make it easier to smell.
The odorant in LP-gas is colorless, and it can fade under some
circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the
movement of the gas through soil can filter the odorant. Odorants
in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if
with the members of your household. Someday when there
may not be a minute to lose, everyone's safety will depend on
knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following
information, you feel you still need more information, please
contact your gas supplier.
• Use your neighbor's phone and call a trained LP-Gas service
person and the fire department. Even though you may not
continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, let the service man and firefighters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then
check and relight the gas appliance for you.
there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls,
masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take
some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-gas. Your local LP-Gas
Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use it
to find out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect
that your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your
LP-Gas Dealer.
• If you are not qualified, do not light pilot lights, perform
service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas
system. If you are qualified, consciously think about the odor
of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or perform
ing service or making adjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light
pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area
where the conditions are such that you may not detect the
odor if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.
• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls
of new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people
should be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or
cylinders are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new
tanks, or reinstalled old tanks, if they are filled and allowed
to set too long before refilling. Cylinders and tanks which
have been out of service for a time may develop internal rust
which will cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected
to exist, a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you
have any question about the gas odor, call your LP-gas dealer.
A periodic sniff test of the LP-gas is a good safety measure
under any condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you
-
think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same
immediate action recommended above for the occasion when
you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
• If you experience a complete "gas out," (the container is un
der no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately.
If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in
some air through openings such as pilot light orifices. If this
occurs, some new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is
left open, then treat the container as a new tank. Always be
sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off
at the container before it goes completely empty or having it
refilled before it is completely empty.

Note: Never use plastic pipe. Check to confirm whether your local
codes allow copper tubing or galvanized.
Note: Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is
always best to consult your local authority and installation code.
The use of the following gas connectors is recommended:
— ANS Z21.24 Appliance Connectors of Corrugated Metal Tubing
and Fittings
— ANS Z21.45 Assembled Flexible Appliance Connectors of
Other Than All-Metal Construction
The above connectors may be used if acceptable by the authority
having jurisdiction. The state of Massachusetts requires that a
flexible appliance connector cannot exceed three feet in length.
Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of
the unit. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not
adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation
or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. The gas lines must be
checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap
solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if
unexposed, a pressure test should be made.
Never use an exposed flame to check for leaks. Appliance must be
disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped
or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with appliance
connected; control valve will sustain damage!
A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas
line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required
by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip line be installed near
the gas inlet. This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee
connected into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which
condensation and foreign particles may collect.
Consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 CAN/

GAS SUPPLY (continued)
Pressure Testing of the Gas Supply System
1. To check the inlet pressure to the gas valve, a 1/8" (3 mm) N.P.T.
plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be
placed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to
the appliance.
2. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
3. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Attention! If one of the above procedures results in pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (14" w.c.) (3.5 kPa) on the appliance gas valve,
it will result in a hazardous condition.
CLEARANCES
Checking Manifold Pressure
Both Propane and Natural have a pressure regulator attached to
the gas valve. Natural gas models will have a manifold pressure
of approximately 4.0" w.c. (.996 kPa) at the valve outlet with
the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of 5.0" w.c.
(1.245 kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a maximum of
10.5" w.c. (2.61 kPa). Propane gas models will have a manifold
pressure approximately 10.0" w.c. (2.49 kPa) at the valve
outlet with the inlet pressure to the valve from a minimum of
11.0" w.c. (2.739 kPa) for the purpose of input adjustment to a
maximum of 13.0" w.c. (3.237 kPa).
A 1/8" (3 mm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, is located on the side of the gas pressure regulator.
1. In selecting a location for installation, it is necessary to provide
adequate accessibility clearances for servicing and proper
installation.
2. Unit is supported by a wall bracket secured to the wall.
3. The minimum clearances from casing to combustible construction
is 36" (914.4 mm) on top, 6" (152 mm) on each side and
4" (102 mm) from the floor or from the top surface of carpeting,
tile or other floor covering and 0" (0 mm) to rear wall.
4. The minimum distance from the center of the vent cap to the
nearest outside corner or obstruction is 24" (610 mm).
5. The minimum wall depth is 4 1/2" (114.3 mm) and the
maximum is 12" (304.8 mm). The use of tubes not supplied
by the manufacturer results in unsatisfactory performance.
The vent terminal of a direct vent appliance, with an input of
50,000 (14.6 KW) BTU per hour or less shall be located at least 9"
(229 mm) from any opening through which flue gases could enter
a building. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake shall
be located at least 12" (305 mm) above grade.
The vent terminal of a direct vent appliance, with an input of
10,000 Btu per hour (3 kW) or less shall be located at least 6"
(150 mm) from any air opening into a building, and such an appliance with an input over 10,000 Btu per hour (3 kW) but not

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW
Location - All Models
Select a location near the center of the space to be heated. Overflow
heat will circulate through doorways into adjacent rooms.
The furnace is to be located on an outside wall. Locate wall studs
so that wall opening will be located between wall studs. One wall
stud can be used for attachment of inside wall plate. The wall
opening required as shown in Figure 3 is a minimum diameter of
6 1/4" (159 mm). The inside wall plate and the outside wall plate are
large enough to permit a wall opening diameter of 8" (203 mm).
A template is provided in furnace carton for positioning furnace
on the wall. Also, refer to Figure 3 for positioning the furnace on
wall and for locating gas line connection.
For large homes or spread-out floor plans, two or more furnaces
are recommended.
Do not locate furnace where a door could swing over the outer
casing, or where circulation could be retarded by furniture or
cabinets. See Figure 4.
Do not install in a closet, alcove or small hallway where the furnace
could be isolated by closing doors to the heated space. See Figures
5 and 6.
When location is selected, check the walls to make sure there are
no obstructions such as pipes, electric wiring, etc., which would
interfere with the installation of the furnace or vent pipe.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury, or loss
of life. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. Keep burner and control
compartment clean.
A) This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand.
When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B) BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in
your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.
Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C) Use only your hands to push in or turn the gas control knob.
Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand,
do not try to repair it; call a qualified service technician. Force
or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D) Do not use this appliance if it has been under water. Immedi
ately call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater
and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
NOTE: It is normal for the new heater to give off some odor
the first time it is lit. This is due to final paint curing and to any
undetected oil remaining from the manufacturing process. It is
recommended that you operate your new wall heater for at least
two (2) hours the first time you use it.
ONCE THE UNIT IS IN OPERATION, CHECK ALL GAS
CONNECTIONS WITH A SOAPY WATER SOLUTION.
CHECK THE TEST POINT PRESSURE; IT MUST BE
4" W.C. FOR NATURAL GAS AND 10.0" W.C. FOR LP
