1. Refer to current CAN/CSA B149.1
and .2 or National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, as well as
local codes for gas piping
requirements and sizing. Pipe size to
the boiler must be determined based
on:
– pipe length
– number of fittings
– type of gas
– maximum input requirements of all
gas appliances in the residence.
IMPORTANT
Design piping layout in such a way that
piping does not interfere with
serviceable components.
2. Before connecting boiler to gas line,
install ground joint union, capped
drip leg and a manual equipment
shutoff valve as shown. Valves must
be listed by a nationally recognized
testing agency. Make boiler gas
connection as shown in Fig. 13.
3. Perform gas piping pressure test as
described in the following
subsection.
IMPORTANT
Max. gas supply pressure: 14 "w.c.
4. Identify shutoff valves as such with
a tab and familiarize
operator/ultimate owner of boiler
with these valves.
