GAS CONNECTIONS

          

NOTE:  The  125  HX  is  supplied  with  a  gas  pressure
regulator  that  must  be  installed  on  the  heater  before
attaching the gas supply line. See fig. 5. Failure to install
the  gas regulator as shown in figure 5 will be a violation
of CSA certification of the unit.  The regulator supplied
with the heater is preset for the gas shown on the rating
plate  to  the  correct  pressure.  It  is  an  appliance  level
regulator designed for (low inlet) pressure (less than 1/
2 Psig or 15” W.C.)
DO  NOT  connect  to  an  unregulated  or  high  pressure
propane line or to a high pressure commercial natural
gas line.

GAS LINE SIZING

-It is strongly recommended that the Natural Gas pipe
be Black Iron pipe the entire distance from the outside
meter to the inlet of the 125 HX regulator. 1/2” Black Iron
pipe up to 10 feet, 3/4” Black Iron pipe up to 40 feet and
1” Black Iron pipe up to 150 feet distances. Flex line tubing
is NOT recommended, but if used then oversize it.
-It  is  strongly  recommended  that  the  LP  Gas  pipe  be
semi-rigid copper or Black Iron pipe from the outside
regulator to the inlet of the 125 HX regulator. For semi-
rigid copper piping: 5/8” up to 20 feet and 3/4” up to 60
feet distances. For Black Iron piping: 1/2” up to 45 feet
and 3/4” up to 160 feet distances. Flex line tubing is NOT
recommended, but if used then oversize it.
THESE FIGURES ARE FOR 125 HX SUPPLY ONLY, ALL
OTHER APPLIANCES IN THE BUILDING WILL NEED TO
BE INCLUDED IN THE PIPE SIZING.

National Fuel Gas Code requires that a sediment trap (drip
leg) be installed on gas appliances not so equipped. The
drip  leg  must  be  accessible  and  not  subject  to  freezing
conditions. Install in accordance with the recommendations
of the serving gas supplier.

  WARNING:

  The  heater  must  be  disconnected  from

the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psig.
The water heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system  by  closing  the  manual  shutoff  valve  during  any
pressure  testing  of  the  gas  supply  piping  system  at  test
pressures equal to or more than 0.5 psig.
The water heater, including the pressure regulator provided
with  it,  must  not  be  operated  at  gas  supply  pressures  in
excess of 0.5 psig. If overpressure has occurred, such as
through improper testing of the gas lines or malfunction of
the  supply  system,  the  gas  valve  and  regulator  must  be
checked  for  safe  operation.  Make  sure  that  the  regulator
vent is protected against blockage.
When your connections are made, check for gas leaks at
all joints (not just the ones you made). Apply some soapy
water to all gas fittings and gas valve. 

Soap bubbles are a

sign of a leak.
NOTE:

 Do not apply soap solution to the pilot or pilot orifice

area. If you have a leak, shut off the gas. After verifying that
required gaskets are in place, tighten appropriate fittings to
stop  leak.  Turn  the  gas  on  and  check  again  with  a  soapy
solution. 

Never test for gas leaks using a match or flame

.

Fig. 5 - Installation of Gas Pressure Regulator

The pressure regulator provided with the heater is adjusted
to deliver the proper gas pressure (as indicated on the rating
plate and in the manual for altitude up to 2000 feet (660
meters) above sea level. On appliances being installed above
2000 ft (660 meters) elevation, the inlet gas pressure should
be set at installation to the value shown below.

draft diverter outlet must be connected to an unobstructed
vent of the same size, or larger.

In Canada, CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code for detailed
requirements
In  U.S.A.,  ANSI  Z223.1  -  NFPA  54,  National  Fuel  Gas
Code for detailed requirements.

The vent connection for the 125 HX is 5 inches.  However,
for installations at high altitude (over 2000 feet above sea
level)  a  six  inch  vent  is  required.  A  5"  by  6"  vent  adaptor
must be affixed to the flue collar of the 125 HX with at least
two screws. See fig. 4.

WARNING

: Failure TO INCREASE THE VENT SIZE

TO SIX INCHES AND/or assure that the manifold pressure
is set to proper value listed for applications at high altitudes
will cause unsafe venting, asphyxiation, and will void CSA
Certification.
