FOR ALTERNATIVE PIPING METHODS TO CON-
NECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE GAS SUPPLY, A
TRAINED SERVICE MAN OR GAS APPLIANCE IN-
STALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CON-
NECTION. Leak testing of the appliance shall be
conducted by the Installer according to the In-
structions given.
Unless prohibited by local codes or ordinances, a new
A.G.A. - Certified, flexible metal appliance connector
may be used to connect this appliance to its gas sup-
ply. The connector must have an internal diameter not
less than nominal 1/2" NPT pipe and be no more than
5 feet in length. A 1/2" NPT x 1/2" flare union adapter
is required at each end of the flexible connector.
If a flexible connector is used assure that both the ap-
pliance pressure regulator and manual shut-off valve
are joined solidly to other permanent hard piping (ei-
ther gas supply or the appliance manifold) so as to be
physically stationary. See figure 12.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to attach the flexible connector directly
to an external pipe thread.
Connection requires flare union adapters.
For Massachusetts Installations:
1. Shut-off valve must be a "T" handle gas cock.
2. Flexible gas connector must not be longer than 36
inch.
3. Not approved for installation in a bedroom or a
bathroom unless unit is direct vent.
