*Cubic ft of natural gas per hr for gas pressures of 0.5 psig (14---in. wc) or less and a pressure drop of 0.5---in wc (based on a 0.60 specific gravity gas). Ref: Table 12.2 ANSI Z223---2006/NFPA 54---2006.

Installations must be made in accordance with all authorities having jurisdiction. If possible, the gas supply line should be a separate line running directly from meter to furnace.

NOTE: In the state of Massachusetts:

1.Gas supply connections MUST be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.

2.When flexible connectors are used, the maximum length shall not exceed 36 inches (915 mm).

3.When lever handle type manual equipment shutoff valves are used, they shall be T-handle valves.

4.The use of copper tubing for gas piping is NOT approved by the state of Massachusetts.

Refer to Table 6 for recommended gas pipe sizing. Risers must be used to connect to furnace and to meter. Support all gas piping with appropriate straps, hangers, etc. Use a minimum of 1 hanger every 6 ft Joint compound (pipe dope) should be applied sparingly and only to male threads of joints. Pipe dope must be resistant to the action of propane gas.

!WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death, and/or property damage.

If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance connector, always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector which has previously served another gas appliance. Black iron pipe shall be installed at the furnace gas control valve and extend a minimum of 2 in. outside the furnace.

!CAUTION

FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage.

Connect gas pipe to furnace using a backup wrench to avoid damaging gas controls and burner misalignment.

An accessible manual equipment shutoff valve MUST be installed external to furnace casing and within 6 ft of furnace. A 1/8-in. NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately upstream of gas supply connection to furnace and downstream of manual equipment shutoff valve.

NOTE: The furnace gas control valve inlet pressure tap connection is suitable to use as test gauge connection providing

test pressure DOES NOT exceed maximum 0.5 psig (14-in. wc) stated on gas control valve. (See Fig. 54.) Some installations require gas entry on right side of furnace (as viewed in upflow). (See Fig. 21 and 22.)
