GAS PIPING
Contact your local gas service company to ensure
that adequate gas service is available and to review
applicable installation codes for your area.
Size the main gas line in accordance with
Table 2
and
Table 3
. The sizes shown are for straight lengths of pipe
at 0.5 in. W.C. pressure drop, which is considered normal
for low pressure systems. Note: Fittings such as elbows,
tees and line regulators will add to the pipe pressure
drop. Also refer to the current editions of the
National Fuel
Gas Code (NFPA 54)
.
Make sure gas supplied is same type listed on model
rating plate. The inlet gas pressure must not exceed 14
inch water column (2.6 kPa) for natural and propane
(L.P.) gas. The minimum inlet gas pressure shown on
rating plate is that which will permit firing at rated input.
If the gas control valve is subjected to pressures
exceeding 1/2 pound per square inch (3.5 kPa), the
damage to the gas control valve could result in a fire or
explosion from leaking gas.
If the main gas line shut-off serving all gas appliances is
used, also turn “off” the gas at each appliance. Leave all
gas appliances shut “off” until the water heater installation
is complete.
A gas line of sufficient size must be run to the water
heater. Consult the current edition of
National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
and your gas supplier
concerning pipe size.
The gas piping must include the following:
• A readily accessible manual shut off valve in the gas
supply line serving the water heater, and
• A sediment trap ahead of the gas control valve to help
prevent dirt and foreign materials from entering the
gas control valve.
• A flexible gas connector or a ground joint union
between the shut off valve and control valve to permit
servicing of the unit.
Be sure to check all the gas piping for leaks before
lighting the water heater. Use a soapy water solution, not
a match or open flame. Rinse off soapy solution and wipe
dry.
The minimum inlet gas pressure shown on the rating
plate is that which will permit firing at the rated input.
