GAS Piping, Figure #17 Gas Piping | Nortec Industries GS Series

The integral base of the GS Outdoor model is designed to mount on a curb. The curb must be built to structurally support the entire weight of the humidifier when in operation. Required curb dimensions are given in Figure #16 .

Ensure that the humidifier is mounted level.

The pan in the bottom of all outdoor models has a pipe chase for routing of services into the humidifier from below.

It is not necessary to make the hole in the roof the same size as the curb. The curb drawing shows the location and size of the pipe chase required. The pipe chase should be sealed when the installation is complete to ensure positive or negative pressure from the building.

The panels of the outdoor model have louvers to provide ventilation for the electronics and air for the combustion process. Locate the unit so that louvered panels are a minimum of 10 ft from any mechanical exhaust outlet.

When mounted on the curb, the lowest air intake louvers must be a minimum of 12” above any surface where snow or ice could accumulate. In areas where normal snow accumulation is higher, mount the unit accordingly.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the humidifier.

The humidifier may be installed directly on combustible flooring or, in the U.S., on wood flooring or Class A, Class B or Class C roof covering materials.

GAS PIPING

Installation of piping must be in accordance with local codes, and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 in the United States or CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes in Canada.

Refer to the indoor gas piping installation guidelines for gas line sizes, pressures, leak testing procedures, and safety instructions.

Gas lines are to be routed to the outside connection on the right side near the back of the unit. The installation of a sediment trap and a certified manual shut-off valve are required outside of the unit. The gas piping must not block access to or prevent opening of the right side service door. Refer to Figure #17 for details.

Nortec recommends that each Gas Fired Humidifier has it’s own regulator installed in line to the unit. Th operating Natural Gas pressure supplied for the GS units must be in the range of 5-9 “ of Water Column and propane version 10-14” of Water Column.

Over pressure protection devices shall be provided to prevent the pressure in the piping system from exceeding that value that would cause unsafe operation of any connected and properly adjusted Gas utilization equipment. See Figure #18

If the system has a pressure that is higher than the max working pressure of our humidifier, then an Over pressure protection system is required. If there is an Over pressure protection device installed, it MUST consist of 2 devices in series. (A pressure regulator plus one other device) Both these devices must be able to work on their own without damaging any downstream piping or appliance, and the only way the downstream
