Gas Piping Notes
1) A manual gas control valve must be placed upon the gas inlet connection to the
Continuum V2532W before it is connected to the gas line. A union can be used on
the connection of the Continuum for the future servicing or disconnection of the
unit.
2) Check the type of gas and the gas inlet pressure before connecting the Continuum
V2532W. If the Continuum V2532W is not of the gas type that the building is supplied
with, DO NOT connect the water heater. Contact the dealer for the proper unit to
match the gas type.
3) Minimum and Maximum Gas pressures are listed below:
* Minimum value is for input adjustment
Natural Gas: *Minimum 7" WC Prop ane Gas: *Minimum 11" WC
Maximum 10.5" WC Maximum 13.5" WC
WARNING: Conversion of this unit from natural gas to prop ane or propane to
natural gas CANNOT be done in the field.
4) After completion of gas pipe connections, all joints including the heater must be
checked for gas-tightness by means of leak detector solution, soap and water, or an
equivalent nonflammable solution, as applicable.
Caution: Since some leak test
solutions, including soap and water, may cause corrosion or stress cracking, the
piping must be rinsed with water after testing, unless it has been determined that
the leak solution is non-corrosive.
5) The Continuum V2532W must be leak tested before it is placed into operation.
6) The Continuum V2532W and it s individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system when pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
7) Always use approved connectors to connect the unit to the gas line. Always purge
the gas line of any debris before connection to the water heater.
8) The Continuum V2532W must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing it's individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
9) The Continuum V2532W's Installation location must provide adequate Combustion
and Ventilation airflow.
