GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

Version 1.0h

6

A gas supply line must be installed by a qualified professional and must conform to National Standards;
NFPA 54 (natural gas) or NFPA 58 (propane) as well as local codes. Connection of the gas supply line
shall be made near the lower rear of the appliance. The gas supply line shall be purged of air before
connection is made to the appliance. This shut-off valve must be located within 3 feet of the appliance or
to the existing local code standard. The Bayvue DV has been tested and approved for installation using a
(7/8" O.D. / 1/2" I.D.) Model #1650 N Dormont Flex Connector supplied with the unit. REMEMBER:
the gas supply line connection must be equipped with an easily visible shut-off valve. Do not run gas
supply lines through chimneys, gas vents, dumb waiters, elevator shafts, clothes chutes, or air ducts.
Piping should be sloped ¼” for every 12 feet of horizontal run. The slope will run from the gas meter
down to the appliance and the horizontal run shall be supported every 10 feet by suitable gas pipe hangars
or straps. Install gas supply line drip leg traps where condensate might accumulate. Sediment traps may
be required by code. Traps collect moisture and sediment that might block orifices or valves from
operating properly. Depending on the total length of gas supply line being run from the gas company
meter to the appliance, different size piping is required. Check with the local gas company for
requirements but NEVER use plastic or galvanized pipe.
