SECTION 9: GAS PIPING
Install the gas hose as shown in Figure 34 . The gas
hose accommodates expansion of the heating
system and allows for easy installation and service of
the burner. Before connecting the burners to the
supply system, verify that all high pressure testing of
the gas piping has been completed.
There is an expansion of the tube with each firing
cycle. This will cause the burner to move with respect
to the gas line. This can cause a gas leak resulting in
an unsafe condition if the gas connection is not made
in strict accordance with
Figure 34 .
Meter and service must be large enough to handle all
the burners being installed plus any other connected
load. The gas line which feeds the system must be
large enough to supply the required gas with a maxi
-
mum pressure drop of 1/2" wc When gas piping is not
included in the layout drawing, the local gas supplier
will usually help in planning the gas piping.
Gas lines must meet applicable codes:
United States: The Flexible Stainless Steel Gas
Hose (US models) supplied with the heater is certi -
fied per the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appli -
ances, ANSI Z21.24/CSA 6.10 - latest revision.
Canada: The Rubber Type 1 Gas Hose (Canadian
models) optional with the heater is certified as being
in compliance with the Standard for Elastomeric
Composite Hose and Hose Couplings for Conducting
Propane and Natural Gas, CAN/CGA 8.1 - Latest
revision.
• Check the pipe and tubing ends for leaks
before placing heating equipment into ser -
vice. When checking for gas leaks, use a soap
and water solution; never use an open flame.
