Gas Connection Size
All piping must be in accordance with requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI/Z223.1a (latest edition) or CSA-B149.1 and B149.2 (See Paragraph 2).
Gas supply piping installation should conform with good practice and with local codes.
Support gas piping with pipe hangers, metal strapping, or other suitable material; do
not rely on the heater to support the gas pipe.
The heater is oriced for operation with natural gas having a heating value of 1000 (±
50) BTU per cubic ft or propane gas with a heating value of 2500 (± 100) BTU per cubic
ft. If the gas at the installation does not meet these specications, consult the factory
for proper oricing.
Pipe joint compounds (pipe dope) shall be resistant to the action of liqueed petroleum
gas or any other chemical constituents of the gas being supplied.
Install a ground joint union and manual shutoff valve upstream of the unit control sys-
tem, as shown in FIGURE 9. Installation of a trap with a minimum 3” (76mm) drip leg
is required.
The unit is equipped with a nipple that extends outside the cabinet. The gas connection
is either 1/2” or 3/4”.
Leak-test all connections by brushing on a leak-detecting solution.
WARNING
All components of a gas supply system must be leak tested prior
to placing equipment in service. NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH
AN OPEN FLAME. Failure to comply could result in personal
injury, property damage or death.
