Gas Pressure Regulator & Overpressure
Protection Device
A gas pressure regulator must be installed if
natural gas supply pressure to the unit is
greater than 10.5” w.c. and less than 2 psi
(55.4” w.c.) and if propane gas supply
pressure is greater than 13” w.c. and less
than 2 psi (55.4” w.c.). Regulators must
comply with the latest edition of the
Standard for Line Pressure Regulators,
ANSI Z21.80/CSA 6.22.
Both
a
gas
pressure
regulator
and
overpressure protection device (OPD) must
be installed if gas supply pressure to the unit
is greater than 2 psi (55.4” w.c.) and less
than 5 psi (138.4” w.c.), in compliance with
ANSI Z21.80/CSA 6.22. For proper heater
operation, pressure to the regulator MUST
NOT be greater than 5 psi (138.4” w.c.).
Piping Supports
Gas supply piping must be supported
directly at the connection to the unit and at
intervals listed in the following table with
metal straps, blocks, or hooks. Piping should
not be strained or bent.

Every Floor
Additional Gas Piping Considerations
Local codes will usually require a field
provided and installed manual main shutoff
valve and union external to the unit. Main
shutoff valve should be labeled. A drip leg
should be installed near the unit connection
to trap sediment and condensate. Pipe joint
compounds used on all gas piping
connections should be resistant to liquid
petroleum gases. If flexible gas piping to the
unit, or in the unit, must be replaced
connectors cannot be reused, only new
connectors may be used.
Heat exchanger comes equipped with a
condensate drain which should be plumbed
to the appropriate drain according to the
(United States) National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the current
(Canada)
National
Fuel
&
Propane
Installation Code CSA B149.1 or B149.2,
the International Building Code, and any
applicable local and regional codes and
regulations.
The condensate drain connection is located
next to the gas entry location. The heat
exchanger condensate drain connection from
the unit is a 5/8” barbed nylon elbow
connection.
