If a flexible connector is required or allowed 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.
Use the proper length of pipes to avoid stress on the gas
control manifold. Failure to follow this warning could result
in a gas leak, causing fire, explosion, personal injury, or
death.
Connect the gas pipe to the furnace using a backup wrench to
avoid damaging gas controls.
Never purge a line into a combustion chamber. Never use
matches, candles, flame, or other sources of ignition to check
for gas leakage. Use a soap-and-water solution to check for
gas leaks. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire,
explosion, personal injury, or death.
Joint compounds (pipe dope) should be applied sparingly and only
to the male threads of the joints. This pipe dope 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,
MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the furnace and downstream of the manual shutoff
valve. Place a ground joint union between the gas control manifold
and the manual shutoff.
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
