(a) Seal any unused openings in the common

venting system.

(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper

size and horizontal pitch and determine there is

no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion

and other deficiencies which could cause an

unsafe condition.

(c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors

and windows and all doors between the space

in which the appliances remaining connected

to the common venting system are located and

other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes

dryers and any appliance not connected to the

common venting system. Turn on any exhaust

fans, such as range hoods and bathroom

exhausts, so they will operate at maximum

speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.

 

Close fireplace dampers.

(d)

Place in operation the appliance being inspected.

 

Follow the lighting instructions.

 

Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate

 

continuously.

(e)

Test for spillage at the drafthood relief opening

 

after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use

 

the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from

 

a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

(f)

After it has been determined that each

 

appliance remaining connected to the common

 

venting system properly vents when tested as

 

outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust

 

fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas

 

burning appliance to their previous conditions

 

of use.

(g)

Any improper operation of the common venting

 

system should be corrected so the installation

 

conforms with the latest edition of the National

 

Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. When

 

re-sizing any portion of the common venting

 

system, the common venting system should be

 

re-sized to approach the minimum size as

 

determined using the appropriate tables in Part

 

11 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/

 

NFPA 54.

For special venting applications that require reduced vent sizes and through the wall venting, the optional D Series Power Vent can be used. Consult the factory or your local Raypak representative.

CAUTION: The heater and its manual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/ 2 psig (3.45 KPA). Dissipate test pressure in the gas supply line before reconnecting the heater and its manual shut-off valve to gas supply line. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE. OVER PRESSURIZED GAS VALVES ARE NOT COV- ERED BY WARRANTY. The heater and its gas connec- tions shall be leak tested before placing the appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test. DO NOT use open flame.

NOTE: Do not use teflon tape on gas line pipe thread. A flexible sealant is recommended.

A minimum of 7 in. WC and a maximum of 10.5 in. WC upstream pressure under load, and no load conditions must be provided for natural gas or a minimum of 11 in. WC and a maximum of 13 in. WC for propane gas.
