Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads.
This will prevent excess sealant from going
into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result
in clogged heater valves.
The installer must supply an external regula-
tor. The external regulator will reduce incom-
ing gas pressure. You must reduce incoming
gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water.
If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,
heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down

PRESSURE TESTING GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect heater with its appliance main
gas valve (control valve) and equipment
shutoff valve from gas supply piping sys-
tem. Pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG will
damage heater regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equip-
ment shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane supply tank valve for
propane gas or opening main gas valve

as shown in Figure 14. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown
in Figure 13. Place sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Place sediment trap
where trapped matter is not likely to freeze.
A sediment trap traps moisture and contami-
nants. This keeps them from going into heater
controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is
installed wrong, heater may not run properly.

mixture of liquid soap and water
to all joints. If bubbles form, there
is a leak. Correct all leaks at once.

4. Check all joints of gas supply piping sys-
tem. Apply a noncorrosive leak detection
fluid to all joints. If bubbles form, there may
be a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff
valve to gas supply. Check reconnected
fittings for leaks.
