Pipe Installation

1. Install the gas piping in accordance with applicable

local codes.

2. Check gas supply pressure. Each unit heater must be

connected to a gas supply capable of supplying its full

rated capacity as specified in Tab le 4, p. 18. A field LP

tank regulator must be used to limit the supply

essure to maximum of 14 in. wc (3.5 kPa). All piping

should

be sized in accordance with the latest edition of

ANSI Standard Z223.1 National Fuel Gas Code; in

Canada, according to CAN/CanGa-CGAB149. See

Tab l e 1, p. 10, Ta b l e 3, p. 17, and Ta bl e 4, p. 18 for

correct gas supply piping size.

If gas pressure is excessive on natural gas applications,

install

a pressure regulating valve in the line upstream

from the main shutoff valve.

3. To prevent the mixing of moistur

e with gas, run the

take-off piping from the top, or side, of the main gas

pipe.

4. Optional two-stage units are supplied with a

com

bination valve which includes:

a. Manual “A” valve

Manual “B” valve

c. Solenoid valve

d. Pilot safety

e. Pressure regulator

Notes:

1. Determine the required ft

/h by dividing the rated heater input by 1000. For SI / Metric measurements: Convert unit Btu/h to kilowatts. Multiply the

unit input (kW) by 0.0965 to determine m

/h.

2. FOR NATURAL GAS: Select the pipe size directly from the table.

3. FOR PROPANE GAS: Multiply the ft

/h (m

/h) value by 0.633; then use the table.

4. Refer to the metric conversion factors listed in “General Safety Information,” p. 7 for more SI unit measurements/conversions.

(a)Maximum capacity of pipe in cubic feet of gas per hour (cubic meters per hour) for gas pressures of 0.5 psig (3.5 kPa) or less, and a pressure drop of

0.5 inch water column (124.4 Pa) (based on a 0.60 specific gravity gas).

WARNING

Hazard of Explosion!

Adequately support the piping to prevent strain on the

gas manifold and controls. To prevent explosion, fire, or

gas leaks, support piping so that piping does not sag or

put pressure on the burners internal to the unit. Failure

to follow these recommendations could result in death

or serious injury or equipment or property-only-

damage.
