trap/drip leg.
❑
Approved pipe joint compound used.
❑
Soap and water solution used to check all connections and
fittings for possible gas leak.
❑ Gas Company inspected installation (if required).
D. Relief Valve
❑ Discharge line run to open drain.
❑ Discharge line protected from freezing.
E. Venting
❑ All pipe connections are secure (at blower, vent terminals and for
