Water Supply Connections Continued....
In regards to the HOT WATER OUTLET:
• Connections between the water heater and point(s) of use
should be as short and direct as possible.
• DO NOT use lead or non-approved plastic pipe.
• To conserve energy and minimize heat loss, insulation of hot
water piping is recommended.

must be installed at the
gas connection of the
water heater at the time of
installation (see diagram to
the left).
The branch gas supply line
to the water heater should
be clean black steel pipe or
other approved gas piping
material.
A ground joint union or ANSI

The National Fuel Gas
Code (NFGC) mandates a

See (NFGC) for complete
instructions.
A sediment trap should be installed at
the bottom of the gas line.
The inlet gas pressure to the water
heater must not exceed 10.5“ w.c.

DO NOT
use excessive force (over 31.5 ft lbs.) in tightening the pipe, particularly if pipe compound is
used, as the water heater may be damaged.
Compound used on the threaded joints of the gas piping must be of the type resistant to the action of
LP gas. Use compound sparingly and use on male threads only.
