Connecting the Gas and the
Exhaust Flue to the GasTrac
WARNING: Conair strongly recommends that the steps below be completed by a
qualified mechanical contractor in compliance with all applicable natural gas codes
in your region.
1
Install the exhaust ducting and flue. Consult government codes and a quali-
fied mechanical contractor for detailed installation instructions and assistance.
The customer-supplied flue must be insulated.
See Description section enti-
tled, Specifications: GasTrac (CGT) Process Air Heater for operating charac-
teristics and general recommendations.
2
Connect the flue to the GasTrac’s exhaust outlet.
Attach the “T” pipe to the
GasTrac’s exhaust outlet using the provided “V” clamp. Connect the “T” pipe
to the exhaust flue.
3
Insulate the flue and exhaust “T” assembly.
Exhaust flue and “T” tempera-
tures can reach up to 750°F {399°C}.
4
Install a condensate trap and drain.
Condensate occurs when flue gases
cool below their dew point. This condensate can be highly corrosive.
Draining and disposal should be done in compliance with applicable safety
and environmental codes in your area.

WARNING: Do not operate the
GasTrac without a properly
installed exhaust flue. You must
install an exhaust flue to vent
the combustion gases produced
by the GasTrac. The installation
should comply with government
codes in your area and be done
by a qualified mechanical con-
tractor familiar with industrial
flue and ducting systems.
TIP: A condensate trap and
drain can be made by bending
a piece of stainless steel tub-
ing. Secure the drain
to the “T” pipe using
the appropriate
compression fitting.
