INSTALLATION AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

IMPORTANT

Safe and satisfactory operation of your equipment depends on its proper installation. Installation must
conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes with the National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest
edition).
All THERMA-TEK appliances are shipped with a gas pressure regulator packed with the unit. All units are
adjusted, tested, and inspected at the factory prior to shipment.
After uncrating, immediately check the equipment for visible signs of shipping damage. If such damage has
occurred, do not refuse shipment, but contact the shipper and file appropriate freight claims.

GENERAL

• Installation of this equipment should be made by licensed and authorized personnel.

• A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply (service) line ahead of the appliance

and gas pressure regulator installed in the gas stream for safety and ease of future service.

• The gas pressure regulator supplied must be installed on the appliance prior to connecting the

equipment to the gas line. Failure to install a regulator will void the equipment warranty and result
in a potentially hazardous condition.

• The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply system

during any pressure testing of that system in excess of ½ PSI.

• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual shut off valve

during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than ½
PSI.

• Please contact the factory, the factory representative, or a local authorized service company to

perform maintenance and repairs.
