CAUTION:
must be disconnected from the gas supply during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). Dissipate test pressure in
the gas supply line before reconnecting the heater and
TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE
GAS VALVE. OVER-PRESSURIZED GAS VALVES ARE
NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. The heater and its gas
connections shall be leak tested before placing the
appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test. DO
NOTE:
A pipe compound rated for use with natural and propane
gases is recommended. Apply sparingly only on male
pipe ends, leaving the two end threads bare.
Supply Pressures
load conditions must be provided for natural gas. A
between static pressure and full load.
Set actual gas manifold pressure based on CO emissions,
either natural or propane gas.
