INSTALLATION
1. GAS SUPPLY PIPING
•
Check that the gas supply meter has suffi-
cient capacity for the full input of the unit
and any other appliances on the meter.
•
Refer to Table 2 & 2A page 20 for rec-
ommended gas piping.
•
Support gas piping with hangers, not by
the heater or its accessories.
•
Purge all air from gas supply piping.
•
Before placing the combination heater
into operation check the unit and its gas
connections for leaks.
- Close manual main shut-off valve
during any pressure testing at less
than 13”W.C.
- Disconnect heater and gas valve from
gas supply piping during any pres-
sure testing greater than 13”W.C.
Do not check for gas leaks with an open
flame - use bubble test. Failure to use
bubble test or check for gas leaks can
cause severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
•
Use pipe dope compatible with natural
and/or propane gas. Apply sparingly
only to male threads of pipe joints so
that pipe dope does not block gas flow.
Failure to apply pipe dope as detailed
above can result in severe personal
injury, death or substantial property
damage.
Natural Gas:
1. Refer to Table 2 page 20 for pipe length
and diameter. Based on rated combina-
tion heater input (divide input by 1,000
to obtain cubic feet per hour).
2. Inlet pressure at gas valve inlet: maxi-
mum 14”W.C, minimum 5”W.C.
3. Install 100% lock-up gas pressure regu-
lator in supply line if inlet pressure
exceeds 14”W.C. Adjust for 13”W.C.
