Gas connections
(continued)
Use two wrenches when tightening gas
piping at boiler (FIG. 6-2), using one
wrench to prevent the boiler gas line
connection from turning. Failure to
support the boiler gas connection pipe
to prevent it from turning could damage
gas line components.

3. Install 100% lockup gas pressure regulator in supply line for
each boiler if inlet pressure exceeds 14 inches w.c. (3.5 kPa).
4. Gas valves used on Crest boilers are rated for at least 27
inches w.c. (6.7 kPa).
Propane Gas:
Pipe sizing for propane gas
1. Contact gas supplier to size pipes, tanks, and 100% lockup
gas pressure regulator.
Propane Supply Pressure Requirements
1. Target a supply pressure of 11 inches w.c. (2.7 kPa)
measured when the boiler is operating at minimum input
rate. Gas pressure can be adjusted higher or lower than 11
inches w.c. as needed.
2. Adjust propane supply regulator provided by the gas
supplier for 14 inches w.c. (3.5 kPa) maximum pressure.
3. Pressure required at gas valve inlet pressure port:
• Maximum 14 inches w.c. (3.5 kPa) with boiler operating.
• Minimum 4 inches w.c. (.99 kPa) with boiler operating.
Maximum inlet gas pressure must not
exceed the value specified. Minimum
value listed is for the purposes of input
adjustment.
WARNING
WARNING
NOTICE
Check boiler rating plate to determine which
fuel the boiler is set for. Crest boilers CAN
NOT be field converted. Failure to comply
could result in severe personal injury, death,
or substantial property damage.

Natural gas:
Pipe sizing for natural gas
1. Refer to Table 6B for pipe length and diameter. Based on
rated boiler input (divide by 1,000 to obtain cubic feet per
hour).
a.
Table 6B is only for natural gas with specific gravity
0.60, with a pressure drop through the gas
piping of 0.3 inches w.c.
b. For additional gas pipe sizing information, refer to
the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1
- latest edition, or in Canada CSA B149.1 Installation
Code.
Natural gas supply pressure requirements
1. Target a supply pressure of 7 inches w.c. (1.7 kPa)
measured when the boiler is operating at minimum input
rate. Gas pressure can be adjusted higher or lower than 7
inches w.c. as needed.
2. Pressure required at the gas valve inlet pressure port:
• Maximum 14 inches w.c. (3.5 kPa) with boiler operating.
• Minimum 4 inches w.c. (.99 kPa) with boiler operating.
