Pipe gas supply into 90 degree elbow item 15 (see Table 2) through the hole in the unit basepan.

For typical 3/4 inch NPT field supplied fittings required for NON Thru-Base gas supply starting from the unit gas valve, omit items 14 and 15 from Table 2 and pipe gas supply into TEE. See Fig. 18.

CAUTION

 

 

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to equipment.

When connecting the gas line to the unit gas valve, the installer MUST use a backup wrench to prevent damage to the valve.

Install a gas supply line that runs to the unit heating section. Refer to the NFPA 54/NFGC or equivalent code for gas pipe sizing data. Do not use a pipe smaller than the size specified. Size the gas supply line to allow for a maximum pressure drop of 0.5-in wg (124 Pa) between gas regulator source and unit gas valve connection when unit is operating at high-fire flow rate.

The gas supply line can approach the unit in two ways: horizontally from outside the unit (across the roof), or through unit basepan. Observe clearance to gas line components per Fig. 19.
