VIII Gas Piping

Gas piping to the boiler must be sized to deliver adequate gas for the boiler to fire at the nameplate input at an inlet pressure between the minimum and maximum values shown on the rating plate. For more information

on gas line sizing, consult the utility or the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 /NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

The gas line is connected to the boiler using the 3/4” NPT female connection in the tailpiece shown in Figure 8.1. This tailpiece is supplied in the boiler’s fitting package, along with the fiber gasket shown.

Figure 8.2 shows the finished gas piping connection to the MWC boiler. A sediment trap must be installed upstream of all gas controls. Install the factory provided manual shut-off valve outside the jacket with a ground joint union as shown.

The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the boiler in operation. When doing this, the boiler and its individual shut-off must be disconnected from the rest of the system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psi. When pressure testing the gas system at pressures of 1/2 psi or less, isolate the boiler from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve.
