Connect Gas Piping
Before connecting piping, check with gas company or
authorities having jurisdiction for local code
requirements. When installing gas supply piping, length
of run from gas meter must be considered in determining
pipe size for 0.5” w.c. (.12kPa) maximum pressure drop.
Do not use supply pipe smaller than unit gas connection.
For natural gas units, operating pressure at the unit gas
connection must be a minimum of 4.7” w.c. (1.17kPa)
and a maximum of 10.5” (2.60kPa) w.c. For LP/propane
gas units, operating pressure at the unit gas connection
must be a minimum of 11” w.c. (2.74kPa) and a maximum
of 13.5” w.c. (3.36kPa).
When making piping connections a drip leg should be
installed on vertical pipe runs to serve as a trap for
sediment or condensate. A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap is
located on gas valve for test gauge connection. Refer to
Heating Start-Up section for tap location. Install a ground
joint union between the gas control manifold and the
main manual shut-off valve. See figure 4 for gas supply
piping entering outside the unit. See figure 5 for gas
supply entering through bottom of unit.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be
resistant to the action of liquified petroleum gases.
