7 - GAS SUPPLY PIPING
7.1
General
• Use piping materials and joining methods acceptable
to authority having jurisdiction. In absence of such
requirements:
• USA - National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54
• Canada - Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CAN/CSA B149.1
• Size and install gas piping system to provide suf
fi
cient
gas supply to meet maximum input at not less than
minimum supply pressure. See Table 6.
• Support piping with hooks straps, bands, brackets,
hangers, or building structure components to prevent or
dampen excessive vibrations and prevent strain on gas
connection. Boiler will not support piping weight.
• Use thread (joint) compound (pipe dope) suitable for
lique
fi
ed petroleum gas.
• Provide sediment trap up stream of gas valve.
• Install manual main shutoff valve outside of jacket. See
fi
gure 16.

7.3
Leak Check Gas Piping
Pressure test boiler and gas connection before placing
boiler in operation.
• Pressure test over 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Disconnect
boiler and its individual gas shutoff valve from gas
supply system.
• Pressure test at 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) or less. Isolate
boiler from gas supply system by closing manual gas
shutoff valve. See
fi
gure 16.
• Locate leakage using gas detector, noncorrosive
detection
fl
uid, or other leak detection method
acceptable to authority having jurisdiction. Do not use
matches, candles, open
fl
ames, or other methods that
can provide ignition source.
• Correct leaks immediately and retest.
