GAS PIPING

2.Install a sediment trap as shown in Figure 4.1. Be sure to allow clearance from the floor for removal of the pipe cap.

WARNING

Use a pipe joint sealing compound that is resistant to liquefied petroleum gas. A non-resistant compound may lose sealing ability in the presence of this gas, resulting in a gas leak. Gas leaks may potentially cause an explosion or fire.

3.Install a ground joint union between the sediment trap and the boiler to allow service of the appliance.

4.Install a service valve as shown in Figure 4.1 to allow the gas supply to be interrupted for service.

5.Maintain a minimum distance of 10 feet between the gas pressure regulator and the boiler.

6.Check all gas piping for leaks prior to placing the boiler in operation. Use an approved gas detector, non-corrosive leak detection fluid, or other leak detection method. If leaks are found, turn off all gas flow and repair as necessary.

WARNING

When checking for leaks, do not use matches, candles, open flames or other methods that provide an ignition source. This may ignite a gas leak resulting in a fire or explosion.

7.Figure 4.2 and 4.3 are illustrations of the gas shutoff valve for the Pinnacle Boiler. This valve is to be used in addition to the gas service valve shown

in Figure 4.1.

D.GAS SUPPLY PIPING - OPERATION

1.The gas line must be properly purged of air to allow boiler to operate. Failure to do so may result in burner ignition problems.

2.Table 4.4 shows the maximum and minimum supply pressure to the boiler.

a.Gas pressure below the minimum pressure may result in burner ignition problems.

b.Gas pressure above the maximum may result in damage to the gas valve.

CAUTION

Do not subject the gas valve to more than 1/2 psi (13.5" W.C.) of pressure. Doing so may damage the gas valve.
