Follow all local codes.Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters20,000 Btu/Hr 3/8" or greaterInstallation must include a manual shutoffvalve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap.Locate NPT tap within reach for test gaugehook up. NPT tap must be upstream fromheater (see Figure 13).Install sediment trap in supply line as shownin Figure 13. Locate sediment trap where itis within reach for cleaning. Locate sedi-ment trap where trapped matter is not likelyto freeze. A sediment trap traps moistureand contaminants. This keeps them fromgoing into heater controls. If sediment trapis not installed or is installed wrong, heatermay not run properly.IMPORTANT: Check gas line pressure be-fore connecting heater to gas line. Gas linepressure must be no greater than 14 inchesof water. If gas line pressure is higher,heater regulator damage could occur.CAUTION: Use only new,black iron or steel pipe. Inter-nally-tinned copper tubing maybe used in certain areas. Checkyour local codes. Use pipe of largeenough diameter to allow propergas volume to heater. If pipe istoo small, undue loss of pres-sure will occur.CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal-ant that is resistant to liquid pe-troleum (LP) gas.WARNING: Never connectheater to private (non-utility) gaswells. This gas is commonlyknown as well-head gas.Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to malethreads. This will prevent excess sealantfrom going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipecould result in clogged heater valves.
