Natural gas may contain some propane. Pro-
pane, being an excellent solvent, will quickly
dissolve white lead or most standard commer-
cial compounds. Therefore, a special pipe
compound must be applied when wrought iron
or steel pipe is used. Shellac base compounds
such as Gaskolac or Stalastic, and compounds
such as Rectorseal #5, Clyde's or John Crane
may be used.
4. All piping should be cleaned of dirt and scale by
hammering on the outside of the pipe and blowing
out the loose dirt and scale. Before initial start-up,
be sure that all of the gas lines external to the unit
have been purged of air.
5. The gas supply should be a separate line and
installed in accordance with all safety codes as
prescribed under "Limitations". After the gas con-
nections have been completed, open the main
shut-off valve admitting normal gas pressure to the
mains. Check all joints for leaks with soap solution
or other material suitable for the purpose. NEVER
USE A FLAME.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warning exactly
could result in serious injury, death or property
damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for the detection of leaks to
check all connections. A fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
6. The furnace and its individual manual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.48kPa).
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.48kPa).

7. A 1/8 inch NPT plugged tap, accessible for test
gage connection, must be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the fur-
nace.

L.P. UNITS, TANKS AND PIPING

All gas heat units are shipped from the factory
equipped for natural gas use only. The unit may be
converted in the field for use with L.P./propane gas
with accessory kit model number 1NP0418.
All L.P./propane gas equipment must conform to the
safety standards of the National Fire Protection Associ-
ation.
For satisfactory operation, L.P./propane gas pressure
must be 10.0 I.W.C. at the unit manifold under full load.
Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three
main factors:
