4. The boiler must be disconnected at the boiler manual
shutoff valve (located at the end of the supplied gas
train) from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at pressures in excess of
1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.).
5. Gas piping must be installed in accordance with
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 1991 or latest
addenda and any other local codes, which may apply.
6. The pipe and the fi ttings used must be new and free of
dirt or other deposits.
7. Piping must be of the proper size to ensure adequate
gas supply. A drip leg and union connection must be
installed upstream of the gas safety shut off valves.
8. Connect gas supply line to the open end of the tee on
which the drip leg is installed.
9. When making gas-piping joints, use a sealing
compound resistant to liquefi ed petroleum gases. Do
not use Tefl on tape on gas line threads.
10. After gas piping is completed and before wiring
installation is started, carefully check all piping
connections, (factory and fi eld), for gas leaks. Use a soap
and water solution.
Install Condensate Drain (Optional)
A condensate drain kit (Figure 8) is intended for use with the
Fulton Reliance boiler.
The Condensate Drain is Fulton Model Part Number 4-57-
000440. Its recommended Operating Temp. is 175 F max;
capacity is 4 QT; Inlet Size is 1inch; Outlet Size is 1 ½ inch;
Water Supply is 100 psi max.; and Max. Btu’s input per drain
kit is 12 MMBtu.
PH neutralization kits are available from the factory, if desired.
Adhere to the following for installation:
1. The 3/4” condensate drain on the Reliance unit must
be connected to the drain of the “Boot Tee” that must
be installed on the exhaust outlet of the boiler and
then tied together to the 1” inlet on the drain kit. One
or more drain lines may be connected to this inlet
(maximum of 12 MBH total per drain kit) through a
common header.
