THE GASEOUS FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
•LP gas is heavier than air and will settle in low areas.
•Natural gas is lighter than air and will collect in high areas.
•The slightest spark can ignite these fuels and cause an explosion.
•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
The information provided below is to assist gaseous fuel system technicians in planning installations. In no way should this information be interpreted to conflict with applicable fuel gas codes. Consult with your local fuel supplier or Fire Marshall if questions or problems arise.
TO THE INSTALLER: Consult with the Home Generator System owner(s) and convey any technical considerations that might affect their installation plans before applying these general guidelines.
The following general rules apply to gaseous fuel system piping:
•The piping should be of a material that conforms to federal and local codes, rigidly mounted and protected against vibration.
•Piping should be protected from physical damage where it passes through flower beds, shrub beds, and other cultivated areas where damage could occur.
•Install the flexible, gaseous hose (supplied) between the Home Generator System Fuel Inlet port and rigid piping to prevent thermal expansion or contraction from causing excessive stress on the piping material.
NOTE: Where local conditions include earthquake, tornado, unstable ground, or flood hazards, special consideration shall be given to increase strength and flexibility of piping supports and connections.
CAUTION
The supplied flexible gaseous pipe is not to be installed underground or in contact with the ground.
•The entire flexible gaseous pipe must be visible for periodic inspection and must not be concealed within, contact, or run through any wall, floor, or partition.
•Piping must be of the correct size to maintain the required supply pressures and volume flow under varying generator load conditions with all gas appliances connected to the fuel system turned on and operating.
•Use an approved pipe sealant or joint compound on all threaded fittings to reduce the possibility of leakage.
•Installed piping must be properly purged and leak tested, in accordance with applicable codes and standards.
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
•Before placing the Home Generator System into service, the fuel system lines must be properly purged and leak tested.
•NO leakage is permitted.
