Resize the common venting system to the minimum
vent pipe size determined by using the appropriate
tables in Appendix G. (These are in the current stan-
dards of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 in
the USA, and the appropriate Category 1 Natural Gas
and Propane appliances venting sizing tables in the
current standards of the CSA B149 Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Codes in Canada.)
Gas Piping
CAUTION
If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by
the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe
shall be installed at the gas valve and extend outside
the furnace cabinet.
Gas Supply
1 − This unit is shipped standard for left or right side instal-
lation of gas piping (or top entry in horizontal applica-
tions). Connect the gas supply to the piping assembly.
2 − When connecting the gas supply piping, consider fac-
tors such as length of run, number of fittings, and fur-
nace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 9
lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.
3 − The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters,
or elevator shafts.
4 − The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per 15
feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the fur-
nace. The piping must be supported at proper intervals
[every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with suitable hang-
ers or straps. Install a drip leg inside vertical pipe runs
to the unit.
5 − A 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located
on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection.
See figures 26 and 27.
6 − In some localities, codes may require the installation of
a manual main shut-off valve and union (furnished by
the installer) external to the unit. The union must be of
the ground joint type.
IMPORTANT
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping
must be resistant to the actions of liquified petro-
leum gases.
NOTE − If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the
main manual gas valve and disconnect main power to the
furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.
