Installation instructions

FOR NATURAL GAS

Maximum Capacity of pipe in Cubic Feet of Gas per Hour for Gas Pressure of 0.5 Psig or less and a Pressure drop of 0.3 in Water Column (0.75mbar).(Based on a 0.60 Specific Gravity Gas) Btu numbers given in thousands. Copper tubing is prohibited for use with Natural Gas in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and not recommended elsewhere.

Follow boxed numbers for piping just one GWH 425 PN (example: ¾” B.I. Natural Gas pipe for 20 ft (6.1m). will handle 190,000 btu’s (55.7 kWh). For multiple appliances combine the total btu input load and then refer to applicable chart below.
