For propane/LP units, installer must supply an
external regulator. The external regulator will
reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce
incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of
water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,
replace regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Figure 21. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
CAUTION: Use only new,

Installation must include a equipment shutoff valve,
union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap
within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must
be upstream from replace (see Figure 22).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve
in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff
valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to
the appliance.

Extension Cord
Use extension cord if needed. The cord must have
a three-prong, grounding plug and a three-hole
receptacle. Make sure cord is in good shape. It must
be heavy enough to carry the current needed. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage. This
will result in loss of power and overheating. Use a No.
16 AWG cord for lengths less than 50 feet.
