Installation & Service Manual

7Gas connections

Connecting gas supply piping

1. Install ground joint union for servicing, when

required.

4.Support piping with hangers, not by the water heater or its accessories.

2. On Models SNR150-100 -- SNA285-125 install a manual

shutoff valve in the gas supply piping outside water heater

jacket when required by local codes or utility

requirements.

3. In Canada – When using manual main shutoff

valves, it must be identified by the installer.

￿WARNING

The gas valve and blower will not support the weight of the piping. Do not attempt to support the weight of the piping with the water heater or its accessories. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

5.

Purge all air from the gas supply piping.

6.

Before placing the water heater in operation, check the

 

water heater and its gas connection for leaks.

 

a. The appliance must be disconnected from the gas

 

supply piping system during any pressure testing of

that system at a test pressure in excess of 1/2 PSIG

 

(3.5 kPa).

b.

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply

 

piping system by closing a manual shutoff valve

 

during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping

 

system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG

 

(3.5 kPa).

c.

The appliance and its gas connection must be leak

 

tested before placing it in operation.

￿WARNING Do not check for gas leaks with an open flame – use the bubble test. Failure to use

the bubble test or check for gas leaks can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
