FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR

GAS SUPPLY PIPING

WARNING

Use pipe joint compound or teflon tape marked as being resis- tant to the action of petroleum [Propane (L.P.)] gases.

Connecting the gas piping to the gas control valve of the water heater can be accomplished by either of the two methods shown.

SEDIMENT TRAP

GROUND JOINT

UNION (OPTIONAL)

FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTOR LABELED AS COMPLYING WITH ANSI STANDARDS

LOOP

A sediment trap shall be installed as close to the inlet of the water heater as practical at the time or water heater instal- lation. The sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting with a capped nipple in the bottom outlet or other device recog- nized as an effective sediment trap. If a tee fitting is used, it shall be installed in conformance with one of the methods of installation shown.

WARNING

Contaminants in the gas lines may cause improper oper- ation of the gas control valve that may result in fire or explosion. Before attaching the gas line be sure that all gas pipe is clean on the inside. To trap any dirt or foreign material in the gas supply line, a drip leg (sometimes called a sediment trap) must be incorporated in the pip- ing. The drip leg must be readily accessible. Install in accordance with the “Gas Piping” section. Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA 54.
