Figure 3-1_Gas Line Connection
All gas connections must be made with pipe joint
com pound resistant to the action of liquefied pe tro leum and
natural gas. All piping must comply with local codes. Tubing
installations must com
ply with ap
proved standards and
practices. Reference FIG. 3-1 for a typical installation.
Install Piping to Control
1. The gas line should be a separate line direct
from the meter unless the existing gas line is of sufficient
capacity. Verify pipe size with your gas sup pli er.
2. Use new, properly threaded black iron pipe free from
chips. If tubing is used, make sure the ends are cut
squared, deburred and clean. All tubing bends must be
smooth and without deformation. Avoid flexible gas
connections. Internal diameter of flexible lines may not
provide proper volume of gas.
3.
Run pipe or tubing to the gas valve or manifold inlet. If
tubing is used, obtain a tube to pipe coupling to connect
the tubing to the gas valve or man i fold inlet.
4.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Over-tightening may result in
damage to the gas valves. Valve distortion or malfunction
may result if the pipe is inserted too deeply into the gas
valve.
5.
Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe compound
(DO NOT use Teflon tape) to pipe only, leaving two end
threads bare.
6.
Remove seal over gas valve or manifold inlet.
7.
Connect pipe to gas valve or manifold inlet. Use wrench
to square ends of the gas valve (FIG. 3-2).
