Gas connections

Connecting gas supply piping

1. Install ground joint union for servicing, when

required.

2. On Models 125 -- 285 install a manual shutoff

valve in the gas supply piping outside water heater jacket

when required by local codes or utility requirements.

3. In Canada – When using manual main shutoff valves, it

must be identified by the installer.

4. Support piping with hangers, not by the water heater or its

accessories.

Do not check for gas leaks with an open

flame – use the bubble test. Failure to use the

bubble test or check for gas leaks can cause

severe personal injury, death, or substantial

property damage.

5. Purge all air from the gas supply piping.

6. Before placing the water heater in operation, check the

water heater and its gas connection for leaks.

a. The appliance must be disconnected from the gas

supply piping system during any pressure testing of

that system at a test pressure in excess of 1/2 PSIG

(3.5 kPa).

b. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply

piping system by closing a manual shutoff valve

during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping

system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG

(3.5

kPa).

c. The appliance and its gas connection must be leak

tested before placing it in operation.

The gas valve and blower will not support

the weight of the piping. Do not attempt

to support the weight of the piping with

the water heater or its accessories. Failure

to comply could result in severe personal

injury, death, or substantial property

damage.

⚠

WARNING

⚠

WARNING

7. Use pipe sealing compound compatible with propane gases.

Apply sparingly only to male threads of the pipe joints so

that pipe dope does not block gas flow.
