6.2. Natural Gas
6.2.1 Pipe Sizing
Refer to Table 1 below for schedule 40 metallic pipe
length and diameter requirements for natural gas,
based on rated PRESTIGE Solo input (divide by 1,000 to
obtain cubic feet per hour).
• Table 1 is based on Natural Gas with a specific grav-
ity of 0.60 and a pressure drop through the gas pip-
ing of 0.30”w.c..
• For additional gas pipe sizing information, refer to
National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1)
for installations in the U.S. or CAN/CSA B149.1 for
installations in Canada.
6.2.2 Supply Pressure Requirements
1. Pressure required at the gas valve inlet supply pres-
sure port:
• Maximum 13”w.c. at flow or no flow conditions
to the burner.
• Minimum 5”w.c. during flow conditions to the
burner. Must be verified during start up and
with all other gas appliances operating within
the building.
2. Install 100% lockup gas pressure regulator in the
gas supply line if inlet pressure can exceed 13”w.c
at any time. Adjust the lockup pressure regulator
for 13”w.c maximum.
DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure gas
valve outlet pressure. The gas valve is facto-
ry-set for the correct outlet pressure. This set-
ting is suitable for natural gas and propane
and requires no field adjustment. Attempts
by the installer to adjust or measure the gas
valve outlet pressure can result in damage to
the valve, causing substantial property dam-
age, serious injury, or death.
The natural gas orifice requirements are:
• PRESTIGE Solo 80:........................0.185” (4.7 mm)
• PRESTIGE Solo 110 ................... 0.242” (6.15 mm)
• PRESTIGE Solo 155/175/250 .......None Required
• PRESTIGE Solo 299/399 (
Œ
) 0.421” (10.7 mm)
• PRESTIGE Solo 299/399 (

) .....0.339” (8.6 mm)
•
The PRESTIGE Solo is factory equipped with the
required natural gas orifice. The natural gas or-
ifice must never be modified or replaced with a
different size orifice. Failure to use the required
natural gas orifice can result in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death.
