• 

The furnace and its individual manual shutoff valve 
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 (3.48 kPa).

• 

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 should be routed through the grommet 
on the side of the unit. 

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. 

Never use a fl ame to check for gas leaks. Explosion 
causing injury or death may occur. 

  WARNING

The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping 
system by closing the individual manual shutoff valve 
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.
