Outdoor Knight Boiler Installation & Operation Manual

4 Gas connections (continued)

￿WARNING

Use two wrenches when tightening gas piping at boiler (FIG. 4-2), using one wrench to prevent the boiler gas line connection from turning. Failure to support the boiler gas connection pipe to prevent it from turning could damage gas line components.

Natural gas:

Pipe sizing for natural gas

1. Refer to Table 4A for pipe length and diameter. Based on

rated boiler input (divide by 1,000 to obtain cubic feet per

hour).

a. Table 4A is only for natural gas with specific gravity

Figure 4-2Inlet Pipe with Backup Wrench

0.60 inches, with a pressure drop through the gas

piping of 0.5 inches w.c.

b. For additional gas pipe sizing information, refer to

ANSI Z223.1 (or B149.1 for Canadian installations).

Natural gas supply pressure requirements

1.Pressure required at the gas valve inlet pressure port:

•Maximum 14 inches w.c. with no flow (lockup) or with boiler on.

•Minimum 4 inches w.c. with gas flowing (verify during boiler startup).

2.Install 100% lockup gas pressure regulator in supply line if inlet pressure can exceed 14 inches w.c. at any time. Adjust lockup regulator for 14 inches w.c. maximum.

Propane Gas:

USE BACKUP WRENCH

TO PREVENT PIPE FROM

ROTATING

NOTICE

Maximum inlet gas pressure must not

exceed the value specified. Minimum

￿WARNING

Outdoor boilers are typically shipped ready to fire on natural gas. Check boiler rating plate to determine which fuel the boiler is set for. If set to natural gas, it may be converted to LP by installing an orifice (see page 11). In order to operate on LP gas, an orifice MUST BE installed. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

value listed is for the purposes of input

adjustment.

Pipe sizing for propane gas

1.Contact gas supplier to size pipes, tanks, and 100% lockup gas pressure regulator.

Propane Supply Pressure Requirements

1.Adjust propane supply regulator provided by the gas supplier for 14 inches w.c. maximum pressure.

2.Pressure required at gas valve inlet pressure port:

•Maximum 14 inches w.c. with no flow (lockup) or with boiler on.

•Minimum 8 inches w.c. with gas flowing (verify during boiler startup).

￿WARNING

Ensure that the high gas pressure regulator is at least 6 - 10 feet upstream of the appliance.
