Installation - Direct Gas Piping
Installation
Step 1 Determine the Supply Gas Requirements
The unit’s direct gas nameplate states the requirements for the gas being supplied to the unit. See figure #22.
The direct gas nameplate is located on the outside of the unit on the control center side.
IMPORTANT!
All gas piping must be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI/Z223.1 and any local codes that may apply. In Canada, the equipment shall be installed in
accordance with the Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment (CGA B149) and
Provincial Regulations for the class. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before
installations are made.
WARNING!
All components of this or any other gas fired heating unit must be leak tested prior to placing the unit
into operation. A soap and water solution should be used to perform this test. NEVER test for gas
leaks with an open flame.
WARNING!
If pressure testing in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5
kPa), the heater and manual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the supply gas line.
WARNING!
If pressure testing at or below 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa),
the heater must be isolated from the supply gas
line by closing its manual shutoff valve.
IMPORTANT!
All piping should be clean and free of any foreign
matter. Foreign material entering the gas train
can damage the valves, regulators and burner.
