›  WARNING:  The unit must be installed 

and connected in accordance with local 
codes, or in the absence of local codes, 
with the most  current edition of the 
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 
(NFPA 54) or CAN/CGA B149 
Installation Code. 

 
The gas supply line connection is made to 
the Champlain’s gas control valve under the 
unit on the left side using a 3/8” male NPT 
fitting. Only use pipe ½” or greater diameter 
to allow full gas volume to heater maximum 
demand of the unit, without undue loss of 
pressure. Excessive pressure loss will occur 
if the pipe is too small. We recommend 
using new black iron or steel pipe only, with 
a flexible line to the valve and to ease thread 

alignment, but refer to local codes. 
Internally tinned copper tubing can be used 
in some areas when permitted by local 
codes. 
 
The gas supply line must include a manual 
shut-off valve and union so the unit can be 
disconnected for servicing. Also a sediment  
trap and a 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tapping must 
be installed upstream of the heater. The 
sediment trap is installed to prevent moisture 
and contaminants from passing through the 
pipe to the heater controls and burners. 
Failure to install a sediment trap could 
prevent the heater from operating reliably. 
The 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tapping is installed 
for the test gauge connection (immediately 
upstream of the gas supply connection). 
Damage to the valve caused by lack of a 
sediment trap will not be covered by the 
warranty. 
 
›  CAUTION: Check Gas Type! 
 
The gas supply must be the same as stated 
on the heater’s rating plate (located on the 
unit). If the gas supply is different,  DO
