Goodman Mfg CPG SERIES installation manual Inlet GAS Pressure

(LP) gas is permitted with the use of the factory authorized conversion kit (see the unit Technical Manual for the appro- priate kit). For High Altitude derates, refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

INLET GAS PRESSURE

NATURAL Min. 5.0" W.C., Max. 10.0" W.C.

PROPANE Min. 11.0" W.C., Max. 14.0" W.C.

IInlet Gas Pressure Must Not Exceed the Maximum Value Shown in Table Above.

The minimum supply pressure should not vary from that shown in the table above because this could prevent the unit from having dependable ignition. In addition, gas input to the burners must not exceed the rated input shown on the rating plate. Overfiring of the unit could result in premature heat exchanger failure.

PIPING

IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid possible unsatisfactory opera- tion or equipment damage due to under firing of equipment, do not undersize the natural/propane gas piping from the meter/tank to the unit. When sizing a trunk line, include all appliances on that line that could be operated simultaneously.

The rating plate is stamped with the model number, type of gas and gas input rating. Make sure the unit is equipped to operate on the type of gas available. The gas line installation must comply with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

Refer to the Proper Piping Practice drawing for the general layout at the unit. The following rules apply:

1.Use black iron pipe and fittings for the supply piping. The use of a flex connector and/or copper piping is permitted as long as it is in agreement with local codes.

2.Use pipe joint compound on male threads only. Pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of the fuel used.

3.Use ground joint unions.

4.Install a drip leg to trap dirt and moisture before it can enter the gas valve. The drip leg must be a minimum of three inches long.

5.Use two pipe wrenches when making connection to the gas valve to keep it from turning.

6.Install a manual shut-off valve in a convenient location (within six feet of unit) between the meter and the unit.

7.Tighten all joints securely.

8.The unit must be connected to the building piping by one of the following methods:

•Rigid metallic pipe and fittings

•Semirigid metallic tubing and metallic fittings (Aluminum alloy tubing must not be used in exterior locations)

•Listed gas appliance connectors used in accordance with the terms of their listing that are completely in the same room as the equipment

•In the prior two methods above the connector or tubing must be protected from physical and thermal damage. Aluminum alloy tubing and connectors must be coated to protect against external corrosion when in contact with masonry, plaster or insulation or are subject to repeated wettings by liquids (water - not rain water, detergents or sewage).
