After gas piping is complete, carefully check all piping
connections (factory and field) for gas leaks. Use a leak
detecting solution or other preferred means. Some soaps
used for leak detection are corrosive to certain metals.
Carefully rinse piping thoroughly after leak detection has
been completed.
Thermostat
The room thermostat should be located on an inside wall where
it will not be subject to drafts, sun exposure, or heat from
electrical fixtures or appliances. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions enclosed with the thermostat for general installation
procedures. Color-coded insulated wires (minimum #18 AWG)
should be used to connect the thermostat to the unit.
The gas valve supplied with this furnace is rated at 1/2
psig maximum. Any higher pressure may rupture the
pressure regulator diaphragm and may cause overfiring
of the burners and improper burner operation. The
overfiring may result in the creation of carbon monoxide
which could cause asphyxiation.
WARNING
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result
in serious injury, death, or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a
commercially available soap solution made specifically
for the detection of leaks to check all connections. A
fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury, or loss of life.
