CONNECTIONS
– MAIN AND PILOT GAS
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard. Can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
Do not bend tubing at
gas valve connection point after compression fitting has been tightened. This can result in gas leakage at the
connection.
All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances or with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 or The International Fuel Gas Code or B149.1 in Canada. Tubing installation must comply with approved
standards and practices.
1. Use new, properly reamed pipe free from metal or material chips. When tubing is used, assure that the ends
are square, deburred and clean. All tubing bends must be smooth and free of distortion.
2. Run pipe or tubing to the valve.
3. Install a sediment trap (where required) in the supply line to the gas valve (see fig.M2)
Fig. M2: Sediment Trap (where required)
WARNING
The main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa CSA; 50 mbar CE).
Connection Main Gas (Tubing Connections)
1. Mount valve 0° to 90° any direction (including vertically) from the upright position of the gas control knob.
2. Slip nut and ferrule over tubing.
3. Insert tubing into inlet/outlet connection until it bottoms, slide ferrule and gland into place and turn finger tight.
Do not use pipe joint compound.
4. Use a wrench to tighten gland about 1 turn beyond finger tight.
Connection Main Gas (Pipe Connections)
1. Mount valve 0° to 90° any direction (including vertically) from the upright position of the gas control knob.
2. Pipe to be inserted into the valve must be the proper thread length and to gauge. Thread that is cut too long
can cause distortion or malfunction if inserted too deeply.
3. Apply a moderate amount of approved pipe sealant to the pipe only, leaving the two end threads bare.
(Do not use Teflon® tape.)
