Gas Piping
Proper sizing of a gas piping depends on the cubic feet per
length of run. National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 latest edition
should be followed in all cases unless superseded by local
codes or gas company requirements. In Canada, refer to
CAN/CGA B.149.1 & .2 (latest edition).
The heating value of the gas may differ with locality. The
value should be checked with the local gas utility. For
temperature rise of unit, see unit rating plate.
Gas Piping Recommendations
• A drip leg and a ground joint union must be installed in
the gas piping. A ground joint union is recommended
by the manifold/valve.
• When required by local codes, a manual shutoff valve
may have to be installed outside of the unit.
• Use pipe thread sealing compound resistant to
propane gas sparingly on male threads.
• The gas supply should be a separate line and installed
in accordance with all safety codes listed on Page
1. After the gas connections have been completed,
open the main shutoff valve admitting normal gas
pressure to the mains. Check all joints for leaks
with soapy solution or other material suitable for the
purpose.
causing injury or death may occur.
WARNING
•
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 (3.48kPa).
• A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test
gauge connections, must be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the furnace.
Gas Connection
The gas supply line is routed through the gas entry
location on the side of the unit (see Figure 4). A grommet is
provided in the instruction bag and should be used to seal
gas supply line to gas entry of control compartment.
Figure 4.
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping
during any pressure testing of gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig or 14”
w.c. If the piping system is to be tested at pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig, the furnace and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system.
WARNING
NOTE: LPG/Propane Units, Tanks, and Piping
Units are shipped equipped for use with natural gas,
approved licensed technician. If conversion is required,
use the approved conversion kit.

Trap must be deep enough to offset maximum static difference
(generally, 3 inches (76 mm) minimum). In addition, the drain line
must be supported if longer than 10 feet.
Trap must be primed at start-up.
