A manual shutoff valve must be located outside the unit. The use
of a union located upstream of the controls is recommended,
between the controls, and the manual shutoff valve. This will
facilitate removal of controls and manifold. See Figure 3 for
recommended placement of the union.
Provide a drip leg in the supply piping located exterior to the
unit. Piping must be tight and non-hardening. Pipe compound
resistant to propane must be used.
Electrical Connections
All wiring must be done in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition); Canadian
Electrical Code Part 1, CSA C22.1 (latest edition); or local codes,
where they prevail. Any alteration of internal wiring will void
certification and warranty.
The rating plate indicates the operating voltage, phase, minimum
circuit ampacity, maximum fuse size, and minimum voltage. Units
must never be installed where voltage exceeds 10% over the
voltage indicated on the rating plate.
Units are factory wired for a 230 volt power supply. If power
supply is 208 volts, it will be necessary to change a wire
connection on unit transformer from 240 volt terminal to 208
volt terminal as shown on the wiring diagram.
Failure of the compressor as a result of operation on improper
voltage voids the compressor replacement warranty.
A separate electric line with wire having a temperature rating of
60°C should be run directly from the main supply panel to the
leads in the unit. Refer to the rating plate located on the unit
for proper fuse or breaker size. Make sure the unit is electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing the individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig or 14” W.C. If
the piping system is to be tested at pressures in excess of
1/2 psig, the furnace and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system. The
gas valve supplied with this furnace is rated at 1/2 psig.
Any higher pressure may rupture the pressure regulator
diaphragm which will cause overfiring of the burners and
improper burner operation. This action may produce a
high concentration of carbon monoxide which can result
in asphyxiation.
WARNING

Gas Supply Piping
Leak Check
After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping
connections (factory and field installed) for gas leaks. Use a leak
detecting solution or other preferred means.
NOTE:
If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the main
manual gas valve and disconnect the main power to the
furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.
Some soaps used for leak detection are corrosive to
certain metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly after
leak test has been completed. Do not use matches,
candles, flame or other sources of ignition to check for
gas leaks.
CAUTION
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and service
to protect the furnace’s electronic controls. Precautions
will help to avoid control exposure to electrostatic
discharge by putting the furnace, the control and
the technician at the same electrostatic potential.
Neutralize electrostatic charge by touching hand and
all tools on an unpainted unit surface, such as the gas
valve or blower deck, before performing any service
procedure.
CAUTION
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must
be resistant to the actions of liquified petroleum gases.
IMPORTANT
Never use a flame to check for gas leaks. Explosion causing
injury or death may occur.
