2- When connecting the gas supply, factors such as
length of run, number of fittings and furnace rating
must be considered to avoid excessive pressure drop
Table 5 lists recommended pipe sizes for typical ap-
plications.
NOTE- Use two wrenches when connecting gas pip-
ing to avoid transferring torque to the manifold.
3 - The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters
or elevator shafts. Center gas line through piping hole.
Gas line should not touch side of unit.

When left-hand gas plumbing is required, gas line
should be installedin the lower half of knockout so that
piping will clear combustion air inducer. See figure 23.
The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 ram) per 15
feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the fur-
nace. The piping must be supported at proper inter-
vals [every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] using suitable
hangers or straps. A drip leg should be installed in ver-
tical pipe runs to the unit.
In some localities, codes may require installation of a
manual main shut-offvalve and union(furnished by in-
staller) external to the unit. Union must be of the
ground joint type.

NO TE - Install a 1/8 inch NPT plugged tap in the field pip-
ing upstream of the gas supply connection to the unit.
The tap must be accessible for test gauge connection.
See figure 24.
Leak Check
After gas piping has been completed, carefully check all
piping connections (factory and field) for gas leaks. Use a
leak detecting solution or other preferred means.
