Parts
Install a gas supply line that runs to the unit heating section. Refer
to the NFPA 54/NFGC or equivalent code for gas pipe sizing data.
Do not use a pipe smaller than the size specified. Size the gas sup-
ply line to allow for a maximum pressure drop of 0.5 in. wg
(124 Pa) between gas regulator source and unit gas valve connec-
tion when unit is operating at high-fire flow rate.
The gas supply line can approach the unit in two ways: horizontal-
ly from outside the unit (across the roof), or through unit basepan.
Observe clearance to gas line components per Fig. 28.
