INSTALLATION
Continued
Installation must include an 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 18).
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.
Check your building codes for any special re-
quirements for locating equipment shutoff valve
to replaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT
threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result
in clogged replace valves.

We recommend that you install a sediment trap in
supply line as shown in Figure 18. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in
piping system between fuel supply and replace.
Locate sediment trap where trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture
and contaminants. This keeps them from going
into replace gas controls. If sediment trap is not
installed or is installed wrong, replace may not
run properly.
* Purchase the optional CSA design-certified
equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See
Accessories, page 26.
** Minimum inlet pressure for purpose of input
adjustment.
