CONNECTING THE GAS

NOTICE: A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the heater to the gas supply. Consult all local codes.

caution

Use new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper or copper tubing can be used per National Fuel Code, section 2.6.3, providing gas meets hydrogen sulfide limits, and where permitted by local codes. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure (Listed on Data Plate) at the maximum flow rate (BTU/Hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small.

A manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of the appliance. See Figure 10.
