6 The front of the unit must be kept clear to avoid restriction of air supply for combustion.

7 The installation must conform with the local codes and with the National Fuel Gas Code

ANSI Z223.1.
a The appliance and it’s individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of ½ psig.

b The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing it’s individual
manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psig.

8 Local regulations governing gas appliance installations must be complied with.

9 Equipment should be under a hood with adequate ventilation.

10 Installation should be in noncombustible locations only. Minimum clearances from combustible

and noncombustible construction are 6” from sides and back.

of the equipment must obtain a regulator suitable for battery application. The regulator must be adjustable
for an outlet pressure appropriate for the manifold pressure on the appliance. This regulator must:

a Be listed by a nationally recognized testing agency.
b Have maximum regulation capacity for the total connected load.
c Be adjustable to the manifold pressure indicated on the rating plate.
d Unless the manifold pressure of all connected appliances is the same, a separate regulator

must be supplied for each unit(s) to indicate unit or units having differing manifold pressures.
