Pipe directly in to combination valve (see 
5. Gas valve has a pressure test post requiring a 3/32” hex 
head wrench to read gas supply and manifold 
pressures. Open 1/4 turn counterclockwise to read, 
turn clockwise to close and reseat. A 5/16” ID hose fits 
the pressure post.
6. Provide a drip leg in the gas piping near the gas unit 
heater. A ground joint union and a manual gas shutoff 
valve should be installed ahead of the unit heater 
controls to permit servicing. The manual main shutoff 
valve must be located external to the jacket (see 
7.
Make certain that all connections have been 
adequately doped and tightened.
Note: Use pipe joint sealant resistant to the action of 
liquefied petroleum gases regardless of gas 
conducted.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be 
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during 
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in 
excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping 
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve 
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping 
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig 
(3.5 kPa).
Installation: Venting
All unit heaters must be vented!
ANSI now organizes vented appliances into four 
categories.
NOTICE: 
Overtightening!
Do not overtighten the inlet gas piping into the valve. 
This may cause stresses that could crack the valve!
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion!
Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. Explosive 
conditions may occur. Use a leak test solution or other 
approved methods for leak testing. Failure to follow 
recommended safe leak test procedures could result in 
death or serious injury or equipment or property-only-
damage.

WARNING
Carbon Monoxide!
Your venting system must not be blocked by any snow, 
snow drifts, or any foreign matter. Inspect your venting 
system to ensure adequate ventilation exists at all 
times! A blocked venting system could result in carbon 
monoxide poisoning. Symptoms of such condition 
include grogginess, lethargy, inappropriate tiredness, or 
flu-like symptoms. Failure to follow these 
recommendations could result in death or serious 
injury.
WARNING
Risk of Fire and Carbon Monoxide 
Poisoning with Improper Piping!
Never use a pipe of diameter other than that specified:
Unit sizes 30–120: Use 4” (120 mm) flue pipe.
Unit sizes 150–400: Refer to 
!
To prevent pipe from melting and introducing exhaust 
fumes into the air supply, never use PVC, ABS or any 
other non-metallic pipe for venting! To prevent fan 
restriction, an elbow should never be attached directly 
to the venter. Failure to follow these recommendations 
could result in death or serious injury or equipment 
damage.
