Venting of Diaphragm Gas

*Low NOx units not available for propane.

Table G: Maximum Equivalent Pipe Length

CAUTION: The boiler 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. Dissipate test pressure in the gas supply line before reconnecting the boiler and its manual shut-off valve to gas supply line.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE. OVER PRESSURED GAS VALVES ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. The boiler and its gas connections shall be leak tested before placing the appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test do NOT use open flame.

Venting of Diaphragm Gas

Components

Gas valves that are equipped with a gas bleed must be vented to the outdoors as required by the National Fuel Gas Code. Under NO circumstances shall bleed lines terminate in the gas utilization equipment flue or exhaust system.

Bleed Line

Connection

A minimum of 7" W.C. and a maximum of 10.5" W.C. upstream pressure, under load and no-load condi- tions, must be provided for natural gas, or a minimum of 12" W.C. and a maximum of 13" for propane.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator is preset nominally at 4" W.C. for natural gas, and 11" W.C. for propane. Between the gas valve and the burners is a 1/8" pipe plug. The pressure at this point, taken with a manome- ter, should be about 3.7" W.C. for natural gas and 10.5" W.C. for propane. Low NOx models should be 3.9" W.C., natural gas only. If an adjustment is need- ed, turn adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure, or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.

For boilers with mechanical modulation gas valves (Type H1 and H5) or two-stage gas valves (Type H3), the gas pressure regulator is preset and sealed, and not field adjustable. Pressure tap is provided on the outlet side of the gas valve for measurement of gas pressure in the manifold.

General

Boiler should be located so that any water leaks will not cause damage to any adjacent areas or structures. See piping diagrams for proper water connections for the type of boiler and system.

Pump Selection

In order to ensure proper hydraulics in your hydronic heating system, adequate pump size must be select- ed. We recommend that the pump be sized for 20°F Delta T whenever possible. (Delta T is the temperature
