*Minimum make-up air requirements are based on 25% excess air at high fi re.
**Opening areas are calculated based input of a single heater and do not account
for the ventilation needs of the equipment room. These measurements are
subject to state and local regulations.
NOTE:  A properly designed make-up air system in the
equipment room will preclude these possibilities and is
required to maintain proper combustion.
7. Eliminate potential for high risk situations for particulate
matter to be in the combustion air supply (e.g., as a
result of construction and maintenance activities).
Utilities
 The Gas Supply
Adhere to the following for gas supply installation:
1. Install gas piping in accordance with all applicable
codes.
2. Ensure pipe and fi ttings used are new and free of dirt or
other deposits.
3. Ensure piping is of the proper size for adequate gas
supply to the gas head assembly. Consult your gas
company for specifi c recommendations.
4. When making gas piping joints, use a sealing
compound resistant to the action of liquefi ed
petroleum gases. Do not use Tefl on tape on gas line
heads.
5. Ensure no piping stresses are transmitted to the
equipment. The equipment shall not be used as a pipe
anchor.
6. Ensure all vent connections on diaphragms, gas valves,
pressure regulators, and pressure switches (gas-fi red
units) are vented per local code.
7. On gas-fi red units with NFPA valve trains, ensure the
vent valve is piped to atmosphere per local code. See
Figure 4.
