and fittings should be new and free from defects. Carefully ream
the pipe and tube ends to remove obstructions and burrs.
3. Use LP-resistant joint compound on all threads.
4. Check the pipe and tube connections for leaks before placing
heating equipment into service. When checking for gas leaks,
use a soap and water solution; never use an open flame.
5. The connector must be certified for use on a radiant
heater per "Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances,
ANSI Z21.24/CSA 6.10".
NOTE: A plugged 1/8" NPT tapping must be provided upstream of
the gas supply to the heater. The gas supply line connecting
to the heater appliance should be such that it allows for
some movement of the unit. The appliance will go through
expansion and contraction during a heating cycle.
