Planning 3.1 General, Gas Supply Lines

CGTH INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL

SECTION 3: PLANNING 3.1 General

This section provides the following information:

•Defines the gas, electric and venting requirements for the CGTH-Series heater.

•Specifies the national standards and applicable codes that apply to the gas, electric and venting requirements.

•Specifies the national standards and applicable codes that apply to non-residential installations.

3.2Gas Service Requirements: 3.2.1 Gas Type

The type of gas appearing on the nameplate must be the type of gas used. Installation must comply with local codes and recommendations of the local gas company. United States: Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision (same as NFPA Bulletin 54). Canada: Refer to CSA B149.1 and B149.2: Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances.

3.2.2 Gas Supply Lines

The size of the gas supply lines must comply with local codes and recommendations of the local gas company. United States: Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision (same as NFPA Bulletin 54). Canada: Refer to CSA B149.1 and B149.2: Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances.

A 1/8" NPT plugged tap must be installed in the gas line connection immediately upstream of the burner that is farthest from the gas supply meter. The tap is required for checking system gas pressure.

3.2.3 Meter and Service

Meter and service must be large enough to handle all the heaters being installed plus any other connected load. The gas line which feeds the system must be large enough to supply the required gas with a maximum pressure drop of 1/2" (13 mm) w.c. When gas piping is not included in the layout drawing, the local gas supplier will usually help in planning the gas piping.

3.3 Electrical Service Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug heater into grounded three-prong ceiling receptacle.

Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

Do not use with an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electrical shock.

3.3.1 Grounding

The heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with the following codes: United States: Refer to National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 - latest revision. Wiring must conform to the most current National Electrical Code and local ordinances. Canada: Refer to Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1 - latest revision.

3.3.2 Thermostat

It is important to note that the CGTH-Series heater is controlled by a low voltage (24V AC) thermostat sup- plied with the heater. The control transformer located inside the burner supplies the necessary electrical power to operate the thermostat. No other electrical power to the thermostat is required.
