GAS SUPPLY &

CONNECTIONS

›NOTICE: A qualified technician must connect the heater to the gas supply and leak test the unit before it is approved for use. Consult all codes.

›WARNING: The unit must be installed and connected in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the most current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Code.

GAS CONNECTIONS

The gas supply line connection is made to the Tucson’s gas control valve just inside the left front leg of the unit using a 3/8” male NPT fitting. The supply line should be ½” diameter or appropriately sized to provide a sufficient gas supply to meet the

maximum demand of the unit without undue loss of pressure. We recommend a flexible line to avoid undue mechanical load on the valve and to ease thread alignment, but refer to local codes.

›CAUTION: Check Gas Type!

GAS SUPPLY

This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig. The Tucson must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or greater than ½ psig.

GAS PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT NOTE: A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN MUST PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE!
