48 Connecting the Gas Supply
CAUTION
●
Install a manual gas shut-off valve between the gas supply
line and the boiler.
●
A sediment trap must be provided upstream of the gas
controls.
Note
●
Tighten the boiler connection valves with care to
avoid damage.
●
The gas connection fitting on all boilers is
3
/
4
in.
●
1

in rigid pipe can be used; refer to the sizing tables
on the proceeding pages for limitations. Do not use

in corrugated connectors or tubing as noise may
occur.
Corrugated Connector
●
When using flexible gas lines, ensure that the pipe’s
inner diameter and connector is sufficient to supply
the required BTUs. Also, ensure that the flexible line
has no crimps or tight bends in it, as this will restrict
gas flow.
●
When using rigid pipe, Navien recommends the
installation of a union on the gas supply line close
to the boiler, to facilitate any future maintenance or
service.
●
Check with the local jurisdiction to verify whether
the use of
1
/
2
” gas pipe is approved in the area.
CAUTION
Prior to using an excess flow valve (EFV) in the gas line, check
the manufacturer’s minimum and maximum flow capacity
rating. An improperly sized EFV will not allow for a full flow of
gas to the boiler and may cause improper operation.
