VIII. GAS PIPING

Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and local codes. Refer to current edition of NFGC. Canadian installations must be made in accordance with NSCNGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction. Gas supply line should be a separate line running directly from meter to furnace, if possible. Refer to Table 2 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 propane gas.

CAUTION: Connect gas pipe to furnace using a backup wrench to avoid damaging gas controls.

WARNING: Gas valve ON and OFF switch MUST be facing forward or tilted upward. (See Fig. 40.) Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage or death.

WARNING: Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never use matches, candles, flame, or other sources of ignition for purpose of checking leakage. Use a soap-and-water solution to check for leakage. A failure to follow this warning could result in fire, explosion, personal injury, or death.

Install a sediment trap in riser leading to furnace. Trap can be installed by connecting a tee to riser leading to furnace so straight-through section of tee is vertical. Then connect a capped nipple into lower end of tee. Capped nipple should extend below level of gas controls. Place a ground joint union between gas control manifold and manual gas shutoff valve. (See Fig. 23.)
