Installation Notes

Installation of gas-line fittings must be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply and allow all components to cool completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant rated for gas service to the MPT threads; do not over-tighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque. After installation, pressure-test all connections for leaks before returning the equipment to service.
