Where appliance instructions differ from this manual, follow the appliance instructions.
2. Install gas piping from meter to combination gas train
Code compliance
The burner/appliance installation must comply with codes listed on page 2 and
any other locally applicable codes.
Piping from gas meter to burner
Connect from the gas supply to the burner gas train inlet using
new, clean black iron pipe and malleable iron fittings only. Do
not use copper, brass, cast iron or galvanized pipe or fittings.
Provide support for gas piping. Do not rest the weight of the gas
piping on burner gas train.
Provide a support for the burner gas train.
Apply pipe dope sparingly at all joints. Use only pipe dope listed
for use with propane gas. Do not use pipe sealing tape.
Do not hold the gas valve with pipe wrench. Use crescent wrench
or other smooth-jawed device. Do not overtighten.
Failure to comply with above could result in severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
1. If possible, install a new gas line directly from the gas meter. If you are
using an existing gas line, verify it is clean and in good condition, and verify
it is large enough to handle the load of all connected appliances.
2. When branching from a common gas line, do not tap off from the bottom
of horizontal sections — only from the side or top.
3. Install a main manual shutoff valve, sediment trap and ground joint
union near the burner combination gas valve connection as shown in
Figure 10.
4. If the burner is installed inside an appliance jacket, install the main manual
gas valve and sediment trap external to the jacket.
5. Size piping (or verify size) using Table 2. You will find additional information
on gas line sizing in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, or
B149.1/B149.2 Installation Code for Canadian Installations.
Gas supply pressure — natural or propane
• Maximum supply pressure: 14 inches w.c.
• Minimum supply pressure: 5 inches w.c.
Do not expose the gas train to gas pressure in excess of 14
inches water column. Higher pressure could damage the valve
seat, resulting in potentially hazardous condition. When pressure
testing piping at higher pressures, disconnect burner from gas
line before testing.
If the gas supply pressure can exceed 14 inches water column at
any time, you must install a lockup type gas pressure regulator
in the gas supply piping, ahead of the main manual gas valve
installed at the burner.
Test and purge gas line
Read WARNING above.
Pressure test and purge the line. Pressure testing should be done by the gas
supplier or utility, following all applicable codes.
