Gas Supply (Figure 4)
Check all local codes for requirements, especially for the size and
type of gas supply line required. On Natural gas lines less than 15'
(4.6m) long, use 1/2" (13mm) pipe; on longer runs, use 3/4"
(19mm)iron pipe or equal. On LP gas lines please consult LP gas
supplier.
Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Each appliance should have its own manual gas cock.
A manual main gas cock should be located in the vicinity of the unit.
Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate, contact
your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant to the
action of liquefied petroleum gases. The gas lines must be checked for
leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap solution watching
for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if unexposed, a pressure test
should be made.
Never use an exposed flame to check for leaks. Appliance must be
disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe capped
or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with appliance
connected; control valve will sustain damage!
A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas line
upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required by the
National Fuel Gas Code that a drip line be installed near the gas inlet.
This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee connected into the gas
line that is capped on the bottom in which condensation and foreign
particles may collect.
