Refer to Table 4 for the recommended gas pipe size. Risers must
be used to connect to the furnace and the meter.
CAUTION:
If a flexible connector is required or al-
lowed by the authority having jurisdiction, black iron
pipe shall be installed at the gas valve and extend a
minimum of 2 in. outside the furnace casing.
Piping should be pressure tested in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before the furnace has been
attached. If the pressure exceeds 0.5 psig (14-in. wc), the gas
supply pipe must be disconnected from the furnace and capped
before the pressure test. If the test pressure is equal to or less than
0.5 psig (14-in. wc), turn off electric shutoff switch located on the
gas valve before the test. It is recommended that the ground joint
union be loosened before pressure testing. After all connections
have been made, purge the lines and check for leakage with
regulated gas supply pressure.
Install a sediment trap in the riser leading to the furnace. The trap
can be installed by connecting a tee to the riser leading from the
furnace. Connect a capped nipple into the lower end of the tee. The
capped nipple should extend below the level of the gas controls.
(See Fig. 8.)
Apply joint compound (pipe dope) sparingly and only to the male
threads of each joint. The compound must be resistant to the action
of propane gas.
An accessible manual shutoff valve MUST be installed upstream
of the furnace gas controls and within 72 in. of the furnace. A
1/8-in. NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection,
