Remove all burrs and obstructions from pipe . Do not bend
pipe; use elbows or other pipe fittings to properly locate pipe.
A drip leg must be installed in the vertical line before each
burner such that it will not freeze . Install unions so gas train
components can be removed for service . All pipe threads must
have a pipe dope which is resistant to the action of LP gas .
After installation, pressurize the piping as required and test all
joints for tightness with a rich soap solution . Any bubbling is
considered a leak and must be eliminated . Do not use a match
or flame to locate leaks.

Valve and Regulator Venting

Valve diaphragm vents, pressure regulator vents, and pressure
switch vents are located in the outdoor burner vestibule and
therefore vent tubing is not run to the outside of this vestibule .
If local regulations require that this be done, it is a part of the
field gas piping hookup. Remove any plastic protector plugs
from regulator and valve vents .

Normally Open Vent Valve

Vent valves such as required by IRI for over 1000 MBh input
units must always be routed to the outdoors. This is field
piping .

and saw out corner of door . See
(2) tangent to round hole and square with door edges .
2 . Install pipe corner plate (3) on vestibule, locating on pre-
punched holes . See
the vestibule with flue box.
3 . Route gas supply pipe through hole . Carefully plan pipe
route and fitting locations to avoid interference with
swinging of doors, etc .

Through-the-Curb Piping

(Models 020-140)

1 . Remove bottom access panel (5) . See
2 . Remove knockout (4) and make an opening (6) through
bottom deck directly below knockout hole .
3 . Route gas pipeline through these openings and seal
them off with suitable grommets (7).
