Gas Piping
If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by
the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall
be installed at the gas valve and extend outside the
furnace cabinet. The flexible connector can then be
added between the black iron pipe and the gas supply
line.
CAUTION
Gas Supply
1. This unit is shipped standard for left or right side
installation of gas piping (or top entry in horizontal
applica tions). Connect the gas supply to the piping
assembly.
2. When connecting the gas supply piping, consider
factors such as length of run, number of fittings, and
furnace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table
9 lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.
3. The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters,
or elevator shafts.

Note:
Capacity given in cubic feet (m³) of gas per hour and based on 0.60 specific gravity gas.
4. The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per
15 feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the
furnace. The piping must be supported at proper
intervals [every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with
suitable hangers or straps. Install a drip leg in vertical
pipe runs to the unit.
5. A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located
on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection.
6. In some localities, codes may require the installation
of a manual main shut off valve and union (furnished
by the installer) external to the unit. The union must be
of the ground joint type.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must
be resistant to the actions of liquified petroleum gases.
IMPORTANT
NOTE:
If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the
main manual gas valve and disconnect main power to the
furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.
