2.4 CONNECTING THE FUEL SUPPLY
Connect the fuel supply to the 1/4 in. female NPT fuel inlet manual shut-off valve:
1. Remove the protective cap or plugs.
2. Apply thread sealant to the fuel line threads as per Figure 1.
Note: Thread sealant is recommended. Sealant must be approved for use with gaseous
fuels. Tape is not recommended.
3. Connect the fuel line and test all joints for leaks using a commercial leak detector fluid
such as Snoop®.
4. Inspect the fuel lines and fittings to be sure they are free of foreign material.
5. Purge fuel lines of all air.
2.5 FUEL CONSIDERATIONS
Fuel must be either natural gas or propane vapor and dependent on the model ordered.
Check the TEG data plate for the fuel type, see Figure 3
.
Do not use a different type of fuel
than indicated.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the data plate for pressure rating. If the fuel supply
pressure will vary greatly, the use of an additional primary regulator is
recommended to hold the input pressure relatively constant.
Propane/LPG Gas Supply Considerations
If remote Propane/LPG gas supply system is used, consider the following:
Location:
Propane/LPG tanks and cylinders must be located outdoors in a well ventilated
area, at least 3 meters (10 ft) from the TEG unless directed otherwise by the local authority
having jurisdiction.
Mounting:
Each tank or cylinder must be set on a firm, level, water proof base, located on
firm ground at grade level. The base must extend at least 300 mm (1 ft) from all sides of
the tank or cylinder, must be designed to support the weight of the tank or cylinder and is
subject to approval by the local authority having jurisdiction. To prevent remote cylinders
from tipping over, they shall be secured by brackets, straps, or carriers designed and
manufactured to withstand calculated loading in any direction equal to at least four times
the weight of the filled cylinder.
Connection:
Tanks and cylinders are to be equipped with flexible connections to offset
any movement affecting the piping or tubing.
