INLET GAS PRESSURE
Inlet Gas Pressure Must Not Exceed the Maximum Value Shown in Table Above.
The minimum supply pressure should not vary from that shown in
the table above because this could prevent the unit from having
dependable ignition. In addition, gas input to the burners must
not exceed the rated input shown on the rating plate. Overfiring
of the unit could result in premature heat exchanger failure.
P
IPING
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid possible unsatisfactory operation or
equipment damage due to under firing of equipment, do not un-
dersize the natural/propane gas piping from the meter/tank to the
unit. When sizing a trunk line, include all appliances on that line
that could be operated simultaneously.
The rating plate is stamped with the model number, type of gas
and gas input rating. Make sure the unit is equipped to operate on
the type of gas available. The gas line installation must comply
with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

Refer to the Proper Piping Practice drawing for the general layout
at the unit. The following rules apply:
1. Use black iron pipe and fittings for the supply piping. The
use of a flex connector and/or copper piping is permitted
as long as it is in agreement with local codes.
2. Use pipe joint compound on male threads only. Pipe joint
compound must be resistant to the action of the fuel used.
3. Use ground joint unions.
4. Install a drip leg to trap dirt and moisture before it can
enter the gas valve. The drip leg must be a minimum of
three inches long.
5. Use two pipe wrenches when making connection to the
gas valve to keep it from turning.
6. Install a manual shut-off valve in a convenient location
(within six feet of unit) between the meter and the unit.
7. Tighten all joints securely.
8. The unit must be connected to the building piping by one
of the following methods:
• Rigid metallic pipe and fittings
• Semirigid metallic tubing and metallic fittings (Aluminum
alloy tubing must not be used in exterior locations)
• Listed gas appliance connectors used in accordance with
the terms of their listing that are completely in the same
room as the equipment
• In the prior two methods above the connector or tubing
must be protected from physical and thermal damage.
Aluminum alloy tubing and connectors must be coated
to protect against external corrosion when in contact with
masonry, plaster or insulation or are subject to repeated
wettings by liquids (water - not rain water, detergents or
sewage).
