Desert Aire - SP Manual
Gas piping must conform to all applicable codes and standards. Follow standard gas piping practices,
including:
• Pitch gas piping downward in the direct of flow so condensed moisture can drain freely.
• Install a drip leg at the lowest point in the gas line to prevent moisture and debris from clogging
the gas drain. The National Fuel Gas Code requires the installation of a trap with a minimum of 3”
drip leg. Local codes may require a longer drip leg, typically 6”.
• Install a ground joint union and manual shutoff valve in an accessible position close to the
equipment.
• Ensure that the pipe and fittings are free from chips and debris. Make sure that the threads are
clean and properly cut.
• Seal pipe threads with pipe dope or a suitable joint compound that is compatible with the gas you
are using. Do not use Teflon tape to seal gas pipe joints.
• Support gas piping using suitable straps or hangers to avoid stressing the gas valve or manifold.
• Use a backup wrench when you tighten gas pipe and fittings.
• Piping from the natural gas meter to the furnace shall be in accordance with requirements of the
local utility. Piping from the LP tank to the furnace must follow the recommendations of the gas
supplier.
• A readily accessible, certified manual shut off valve with a non-displaceable rotor member should
be installed within six feet of the gas equipment it serves.
• A union or flanged connection shall be provided downstream from the manual valve to permit
removal of controls. Provide a 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tapping at the inlet of the gas control for
connection of a test gauge to check gas supply pressure to the furnace. Unions must be a ground
joint type or flagged-jointed using a gasket resistance to LP gas. Pipe dope or sealant certified to
be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases should be used on all threaded joints.
• A drip leg must be used on both LP and natural gas installations prior to the furnace to trap oil,
condensate and other impurities which might otherwise lodge in the gas valve or plug the burner
orifice. When there is excessive condensation between the gas meter and the furnace, a drip leg
shall be provided at the outlet of the gas meter. Failure to install a drip leg may void the warranty
on the dehumidifier.
• High fire manifold gas pressure is regulated by the combination valve to 3.5” w.c. Inlet pressure to
the valve must be a minimum 5” w.c. or as noted on the rating plate and maximum of 14” w.c. for
natural gas.
