MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE

BOOST YOUR PEACE OF MIND.
Eastman has designed a safety valve to help protect you and your family from catastrophic ruptures or disconnects in your gas line. The
Armor Boost valve immediately restricts gas flow to help protect you from build-up of flammable gas. The valve will remain activated until the gas line is properly repaired. For added protection, Armor Boost is armed with a special fire safe thermal ring that expands to stop gas flow when extreme temperatures of 350˚+ are reached.
High Performance DuraCoat™ Epoxy Coating provides extra protection from corrosion, chemical stains from common household products, UV rays and is approved for indoor/outdoor use.
In the case of a gas line rupture or a disconnect from the appliance, the Eastman ARMOR BOOST™ thermal excess flow valve will immediately shut-off the supply of gas. The flow of gas is controlled only at the appliance where the problem exists. The valve will remain in the closed position until the gas line has been properly repaired.

• Leak detection solution
• Cleaning rag

Note

• Fuel codes require installation of a manual shut-off valve in the same room that is whithin easy reach of the appliance (i.e within 6 feet).
• A shut-off valve is not included with this connector.

CAUTION & WARNING

• The installation MUST BE complaint with the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z233.1) and local installation codes.
• The installation and testing MUST be performed by a qualified professional. Make sure that gas supply and gas valves of the appliances are shut off before the installation of gas connector.
• DO NOT REUSE any connectors, fittings and valves. They are designed for use on original installation only. Removal of connector and any additional handing may damage connector making it unsafe and unreliable for reuse.
• The excess flow value shall be for use only in its original installation and location. DO NOT REUSE the excess flow valve for another installation or move it to a different location within the same piping system.
• DO NOT use this connector if it has been in a fire. Fire can damage the connector making it unsafe for reuse.
• DO NOT use this connector on appliances equipped with rollers or casters. This connector is designed for limited movement after installation. Repeated bending, flexing or extreme vibration can cause metal fatigue and must be avoided.
• DO NOT use connectors to make a direct connection to LP gas containers. Connection MUST be made to the regulator device only.
• DO NOT use connector on appliance in moving vehicles such as RV’s, trailers, etc. However, this product may be used in manufactured housing, like permanent residence mobile homes.
• DO NOT use this connector with infrared radiant tube heaters. Cyclic movement of heater may cause connector to fail.
• Keep cleaning solvents containing ammonia or chlorine away from uncoated or damaged gas connectors. DO NOT store these solutions near connectors or use the connectors near a swimming pool or hot tub. If exposed to these chemical products, rinse the connectors thoroughly with water.
• DO NOT join two or more connectors to make a longer connector.
• DO NOT stretch connector to make it fit. Connector should be of adequate length to reach from the gas supply line to the appliance without stretching.
• DO NOT conceal connector or run connector through enclosed outdoor BBQ pits, walls, partitions, floors or appliance panels. The gas outlet must be in the same room as appliance.
• DO NOT assemble gas connector nuts directly to male pipe threads of gas supply pipe or appliance. Install connector using the fittings provided. (See Figure 1)
• If the excess flow valve has been damaged and is no longer in operating condition, the excess flow valve must be replaced.

WARNING: Turn off gas supply before disconnecting old appliance. In absence of manual shut-off valve near appliance location, gas MUST be shut off on the main valve, near the meter.
Measure
Determine the length needed to reach from the appliance inlet to the gas supply. Allow additional length to access behind the appliance.
*Local codes may limit the maximum length, check all local and applicable codes before installation.
Check Appliance
Identify the manufacturer label on your appliance to determine the gas input rating. Select the correct length and Btu/hr rating that is greater than your appliance. (See below chart)
Match
Make sure fittings included match up to the gas supply and inlet of the appliance.
Be SAFE
Read and understand the installation instructions! Failure to follow the instructions can result in product failure, property damage and/or personal injury.

This connector meets or exceeds the minimum allowable capacity as determined under test condition specified in ANSI Z21.24/CSA6.10. These connectors with the highlighted capacities above are not suitable for radiant tube heaters in the US. Select a connector on the chart above that has a larger flow capacity that the gas rating of your appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Clean all pipe threads with a soft bristle brush and rag to ensure connections are free of any debris such as metal shaving, rust, dirt, oil, or water.
   WARNING: Turn off gas supply before disconnection old appliance. In absence of manual shut-off valve near appliance location, gas MUST be shut off on the main valve, near the meter.

2. Apply pipe thread sealant to the male pipe threads of connection. DO NOT apply grease, oil, sealant, or tape to flare ends of fitting or shut-off valve. Sealant and tape will prevent this connection from sealing properly.
   WARNING: DO NOT USE matches, candles, open flames or other sources of ignition during product installation. A spark or flame may ignite gas vapors causing property damage and/or personal injury including death. Extinguish all pilot lights within 50ft. before proceeding with appliance installation.

3. Thread steel fitting to manual shut-off valve and other steel fitting onto appliance regulator.
   Thread flare nuts of gas connector onto shut-off valve and steel fitting. Wrench tighten all connections. DO NOT use a pipe wrench on the connector flare nut.
   *If necessary, thread new manual shut-off valve onto gas supply pipe that is wrench tighten. Use a wrench only on the hex surfaces or the fittings.
   • CAUTION: DO NOT stretch the connector to make it fit. Connector must be long enough to allow the appliance to be positioned at its farthest anticipated connected distance from the gas supply without stretching, twisting, or bending that is smaller than a 1-1/2 internal diameter (i.e. approximately the diameter of a golf ball).
   • CAUTION: DO NOT trap connector against sharp edges or corners.
   • CAUTION: DO NOT kink, or bend connector sharply on right angles.

4. Turn manual shut-off valve on to allow gas to enter the system after installation.
   • **WARNING: DO NOT TURN ON APPLIANCE until all connections have been leak tested properly.
   • WARNING: DO NOT USE lighters, matches, candles, open flames or other sources of ignition to leak test connections!
   • CAUTION:** Please be sure to open the manual gas shut-off valve SLOWLY and GRADUALLY to allow gas to enter the system. If gas enters system too quickly, the ARMOR BOOST™ EFV may activate pre-maturely. If this occurs, the EFV will re-open in less than 60 seconds with clicking sound.

5. Test all connections with non-corrosive gas leak test solution; bubbles with indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, turn off gas supply before further tightening connections. Water rinse and towel dry connection once test is complete.
   TEST
   Wait at least 10 minutes or more to be certain that all vapors have dissipated. If the leak test confirms connections do not leak gas and you do not smell any gas. THEN
   light pilot(s) and turn on appliance again. If you smell gas, turn off the gas at main shut-off valve and call a licensed plumber to check for leaks and fix any other problems.
   • CAUTION: Rinse gas connector with water and towel dry after leak testing connections. Soap and test solutions may cause an uncoated connector to corrode.
   • CAUTION: Wait at least 10 minutes to light pilot(s) once you have leak tested all connections and have found no leaks, to be certain that all vapors have dissipated.
   • DANGER: Fuel gases are colorless, tasteless and in its pure state, odorless. They are odorized (rotten egg smell) so that their presence can be detected. LP gases are
   heavier than air and dissipate slower than natural or manufactured gases. LP gas, if released in quantity, will accumulate in low-lying areas such as a basement or crawl
   space.
   • The above testing should be performed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 8.2, Piping system, appliance and equipment\ leakage test, and Section 8.3, Purging.

WARNING – The open end of the piping systems being tested shall not discharge into confined areas where there are ignition sources.
DISCLAIMER: ARMOR BOOST™ EXCESS FLOW VALVE WILL NOT ACTIVATE BY DESIGN UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:

• The gas connector assembly has small leaks such as pin hole leaks caused by cracks or loose connections that lead the gas flow to fall below normal operating capacity of the appliance.
• The gas appliance malfunctions.
• The EFV has been contaminated with chemical residues such as pipe thread sealant.
• The manual gas shut-off valve is partially opened. There is a pipe break or damage that has occurred upstream of the ARMOR BOOST™ EVF excess flow valve, that prevents sufficient gas flow through the valve.
• There is an insufficient gas flow from an INCORRECTLY-sized gas piping system.
• The gas flow through the ARMOR BOOST™ EFV is in the wrong direction. The device must be installed so that the arrows point in the direction of gas flow.
• The ARMOR BOOST™ EVF has been damaged, exposed to fire or there has been installation error.
• A partial break in the downstream gas line is not large enough to allow an open-ended flow of gas and activate the excess flow valve.

PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION PROCESS! SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT EASTMAN.
