Gas Piping
SECTION V - Gas Piping
Gas Supply Piping Connection
The gas supply piping must be installed
in accordance to all applicable local,
state and national codes and utility
requirements.
1. Refer to Fig. 11 to pipe gas supply to the
burner.
a. Install a pipe nipple and union at the
factory supplied 3/4” NPT gas cou-
pling, for ease of service.
b. Install a manual shutoff valve in the gas
supply piping as shown in Fig. 11. For
installations in Canada, the installer
must tag and identify the main shutoff
valve.
c. Install a drip leg on the gas supply line
prior to connecting to the MODULAT-
ING DELTA gas train as shown in Fig.
11.
2. Support the gas piping using hangers. Do
not support the piping by the appliance or
its components.
3. Purge all air from the gas supply piping.
4. Before placing the MODULATING
DELTA into operation, check and test all
connections for leaks.
Close the manual shutoff valve during
any pressure test with less than 13”w.c..
Disconnect the MODULATING
DELTA and its gas valve from the gas
supply piping during any pressure test
greater than 13”w.c..
Do not check for gas leaks with an open
flame. Use a gas detection device or bub-
ble test. Failure to check for gas leaks
can cause severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage.
5. Use pipe dope compatible with natural and
propane gases. Apply sparingly only to the
male threads of pipe joints so that pipe
dope does not block gas flow.
Failure to apply pipe dope as detailed
above can result in severe personal
injury, death or substantial property
damage.
Use a two-wrench method of tightening
gas piping near the appliance and its gas
valve. Use one wrench to prevent the gas
valve line connection from turning and
the second to tighten adjacent piping.
Failure to support the gas valve connec-
tion piping could damage the valve and
the gas line components.
