7.1 General
• Use piping materials and joining methods acceptable
to authority having jurisdiction. In absence of such
requirements:
• USA - National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54
• Canada - Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CAN/CSA B149.1
• Size and install gas piping system to provide sufficient
gas supply to meet maximum input at not less than
minimum supply pressure. See Table 10.
• Support piping with hooks straps, bands, brackets,
hangers, or building structure components to prevent or
dampen excessive vibrations and prevent strain on gas
connection. Boiler will not support piping weight.
• Use thread (joint) compound (pipe dope) suitable for
liquefied petroleum gas.
• Provide sediment trap up stream of gas valve.
• Install manual main shutoff valve outside of jacket. See
figure 7-2.
7.2 Conversion Kit Instructions
• See Gas Conversion Kit Instructions included with Boiler.
