DC SERIES COMBI BOILERS

DC 23-84, DC 29-106, DC 33-124, DC 33-160

GAS PIPING

The boiler should normally have an inlet gas pressure of at least 7.0" w.c. for

natural gas and 11" w.c. for propane gas. For either fuel, the inlet pressure shall

be no greater than 14.0" w.c. Confirm this pressure range is available with your

local gas supplier.
The inlet gas connection of the boiler’s gas valve is 1/2" NPT (male).
Adequate gas supply piping shall be provided with no smaller than 1/2" Iron Pipe

Size (e.g. Iron Pipe Size (IPS) and using a 1" w.c. pressure drop, in accordance

with the following chart:

Table 7: Maximum Pipe Length (ft) – DC series 33-160 boiler

Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the boiler’s gas valve

(see Figure

32).

A manual shutoff valve must be located outside the boiler, in accordance

with local codes/standards. All threaded joints in gas piping should be made with

an approved piping compound resistant to the action of natural gas/propane. Use

proper hangers to support gas supply piping as per applicable codes.
The boiler must be disconnected or otherwise isolated from the gas supply

during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.

Dissipate test pressure prior to reconnecting. The boiler and its gas piping shall

be leak tested before being placed into operation.

•

The boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the

gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test

pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

•

The boiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing,

disconnecting and capping its 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).

The gas valve is provided with pressure taps to measure gas pressure upstream

(supply pressure) and downstream (manifold pressure) of the gas valve

(see

Figure 31).

Note that manifold pressure varies slightly in accordance with firing

rates with the modulating series boilers, but will always be close to 0" w.c.
