B. Gas Pressures

Proper input pressures are required for optimum appli- ance performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made following NFPA54.

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Hazard.

High pressure will damage valve.

• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures above 1/2 psig.

•Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

WARNING

Verify inlet pressures.

• High pressure may cause overfire condition.

• Low pressure may cause explosion.

•Verify minimum pressures when other household gas appliances are operating.

Install regulator upstream of valve if line pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.

WARNING

Gas Leak Risk

•Support control when attaching pipe to prevent bending gas line.

NOTE: The gap between supply piping and gas access hole may be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with non-combustible, unfaced insulation to prevent cold air infiltration.

•Ensure that gas line does not come in contact with outer wrap of appliance. Follow local codes.

•Incoming gas line should be piped into the valve compartment and connected to the 1/2 inch connection on the manual shutoff valve.

•Check all fittings and connections of appliance which may have loosened during shipping.
