Natural Gas:
Pipe sizing for natural gas
1. Size gas piping from meter outlet to entrance of boiler in accor-
dance with Figure 11 and Figure 12.
2. Use total input of all connected appliances. Divide total input in
Btuh by 1,000 to obtain cubic feet per hour of natural gas.
a. Pipe lengths in Figure 11 are equivalent length of straight
pipe. Convert pipe fittings to equivalent lengths using data
from Figure 12.
b. Figure 11 is only for natural gas with specific gravity 0.60, with
a pressure drop through the gas piping as listed in the table.
c. For additional gas pipe sizing information, refer to ANSI Z223.1
(or B149.1 or B149.2 for Canadian installations).
Natural gas supply pressure
1. Pressure required at gas valve inlet pressure port:
a. Maximum: 13” (330 mm) w.c. with no flow (lockup).
b. Minimum gas pressure, with gas flowing (verify during boiler
startup, while boiler is at high fire) — WM97+70: 3½” (89 mm)
w.c.; WM97+110: 4½” (114 mm) w.c.
2. Install 100% lockup gas pressure regulator in supply line if inlet
pressure can exceed 13” w.c. at any time. Adjust lockup regulator
for 13” w.c. maximum.
Propane Gas:
You must follow the instructions, beginning on page 12,
to operate the boiler on propane. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
Pipe sizing for propane gas
1. Contact gas supplier to size pipes, tanks and 100% lockup gas
pressure regulator.
Propane supply pressure
1. Adjust propane supply regulator provided by gas supplier for 13”
(330 mm) w.c. maximum pressure.
2. Pressure required at gas valve inlet pressure port:
a. Maximum: 13” (330 mm) w.c. with no flow (lockup).
b. Minimum gas pressure, with gas flowing (verify during boiler
startup, while boiler is at high fire) — WM97+70: 3½” (89 mm)
w.c.; WM97+110: 4½” (114 mm) w.c.
