GAS PIPING
• The unit is equipped with a 1/2” pipe for
gas connection. Shipped with each unit,
for 3/4” gas connection, is one each of
the following:
P/N 00743 - Bushing Hex Reducer
3/4 to 1/2
P/N 01319 - Coupling 3/4 Pipe
• 3/4 NPT minimum supply piping recom-
mended.
• Use only black steel pipe and malleable
fittings for gas connections.
• Pressure loss in the piping must not
exceed 0.3” W.C.
• Be sure gas supply piping is of the
proper size for the BTU input. Take into
consideration all other gas appliances
which must operate from the same gas
supply. Be sure piping will not interfere
with drain pails or valves.
• A compound resistant to the action of
liquified petroleum gas should be used
on the threads of gas supply piping
joints. Check all connections and pipes
with a soap and water solution. Bubbles
indicate a gas leak. DO NOT use an
open flame to check for gas leaks.
Determine the required pipe size of each
section and outlet of the piping system
shown in Solution, with a designated pres-
sure drop of 0.30 inch water column. Gas to
be used has 0.60 specific gravity and a
heating value of 1,000 BTU per cubic foot.
