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.
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 as shown. Valves must
be listed by a nationally recognized
testing agency. Make boiler gas
connection as shown on the left.

pressure drop in the gas line must
occur when any unit (or combination
of units) lights or runs.
