INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL
As a professional installer, you have an obligation to know
the product better than the customer. This includes all safety
precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself with
this Instruction Manual. Pay special attention to all safety
warnings. Often during installation or repair, it is possible to
place yourself in a position which is more hazardous than
when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product safely
and to know it well enough to be able to instruct a customer
in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking
before acting. Most dealers have a list of specic good safety
practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended
as supplemental to existing practices. However, if there is a
direct conict between existing practices and the content of
this manual, the precautions listed here take precedence.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space
heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas
such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of
the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such
as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing
device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside
ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which
can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in
the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated
throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.
Special Warning for Installation of Furnaces or Air Handling Units in
Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas
The following tools and supplies are required:
• 2 – Pipe wrenches, properly sized to accommodate the
gas piping and connectors
• 1 – 1/4” nut driver
• 1 – manometer to read inlet and outlet pressure of the
gas valve (Minimum range: 0”-20” W.C.)
• Pipe joint compound or pipe thread tape that is approved
for use with L.P. gas
• Gas leak detection solution like a soap and water
solution. Always wipe the solution from the joints when
testing is completed.
WARNING
never use an open fLame to check for gas Leaks.
Prior to performing this conversion, refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code (NFPA 54-02) or in Canada, CAN/CSA-B149.2-05
to ensure that the installation is in compliance with those
and all local codes.
