Gas Supply
DANGER: Make sure the gas on which the heater will operate is the same type as specified on the rat- ing plate.
Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the heater gas controls, and a manual
Gas Supply Connection
CAUTION: The heater must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
The heater must be isolated from the gas supply pip- ing system by closing the upstream manual
TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE.
CAUTION: Do not use Teflon tape on gas line pipe thread. A pipe compound rated for use with natural and propane gases is recommended. Apply sparingly only on male pipe ends, leaving the two end threads bare.
CAUTION: Support gas supply piping with hangers, not by the heater or its accessories. Make sure the gas piping is protected from physical damage and freezing, where required.
Gas Supply Pressure
A minimum of 4.0 in. WC and a maximum of 10.5 in. WC upstream gas pressure is required under load and
When connecting additional gas utilization equipment to the gas piping system, the existing piping must be checked to determine if it has adequate capacity for the combined load. The gas valve pressure regulator on the heater is nominally preset as noted in Table I.
During normal operation, carbon dioxide should be 8.5 to 9.0% at full fire for natural gas and between 9.0 and 9.5% for propane gas. Carbon monoxide should be ‹150 ppm.
