1. Refer to current CAN/CSA B149.1 and .2 or National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, as well as
local codes for gas piping requirements and sizing.
Pipe size to the boiler must be determined based on:
- pipe length
- number of fittings
- type of gas
- maximum input requirements of all gas appliances
in the residence.
IMPORTANT
Design piping layout in such a way that piping does not
interfere with serviceable components.
2. Before connecting boiler to gas line, install ground
joint union, capped drip leg and a manual equipment
shutoff valve. Valves must be listed by a nationally
recognized testing agency. Make boiler gas connection
