Gas Piping Connections; Installation Of The Room Thermostat - Saturn KDB - 161 GOM Manual

5. Gas piping connections

Consult with your gas provider to determine the proper diameter of gas pipe. This will vary due to
input capacity, the number of elbows and length of pipe.
The heating water supply piping should be 3/4". An isolation (ball-type) valve should be installed before the piping is
connected to the units.
Black iron piping or 3/4" flexible connector (approved by the local authorities for gas) should be used for gas piping.
Do not use Teflon tape for gas pipe connections.
Install a gas drip leg at the unit.
Gas piping should be kept at the required distance away from any electric lines and the main service panel(check
with local authorities).
1. Distance from electric lines
2. Distance from electric heaters and electric panels
3. Distance from flue pipes and outlets
Install the ball valve(cut-off valve) before connecting the gas piping to the unit (Allow space for the lever's full
movement, install valve as close to the units as possible).
After the gas pipe has been completed, all connections must be checked with soapy water.
gas leaks by pumping air-pressure into the line without first disconnecting the gas line to the unit. Pressuring the
unit will void the manufacturers warranty. Releasing this pressure into the unit will cause immediate and severe
damage to the gas valve and its internal pressure regulating device and could result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
