Installation Checklists

Ventilation System Checklist

NOTE: See Site Selection and Preparation
information.

Is there sufficient air flow for cooling and ventilation?

Are all bushes, shrubs, and other vegetation a mini-
mum of 3 ft (1 m) away?

Does the air inlet face the direction of prevailing
winds?

Is system piping correctly sized? Have all gas loads
been taken into consideration?

Is system correctly protected from freeze up and cor-
rosion?

Have standby equipment heaters been specified?

Have system drain valves and air eliminators been
installed?

Does air outlet face noise sensitive areas without
noise attenuating devices?

Does installation appear to have the necessary acces-
sories to promote fast, reliable starting and operation
in adverse weather conditions (such as engine block
heaters, battery warmers, etc.)?

Do these parameters meet all applicable codes and
local jurisdiction?

Exhaust System Checklist

NOTE: See Gaseous Fuel Systems
tion.

Are exhaust discharges directed away from combusti-
ble surfaces and inhabited areas?

Is exhaust piping kept clear of fuel supply, fuel lines,
etc.?

Is off-engine exhaust piping covered with high tem-
perature insulation blankets where necessary?

Do these parameters meet all applicable codes and
local jurisdiction?

Gaseous Fuel System Checklist

NOTE: See Gaseous Fuel Systems
tion.

Are fuel supply lines correctly sized and installed?
Were fuel supply lines purged and leak tested?

Is fuel pressure regulator correctly sized?

Is a fuel pressure test port installed before fuel shutoff
solenoids at the fuel inlet?

Does generator have a dedicated fuel line which is not
shared with any other appliances?

Installation Guidelines For Spark-Ignited Stationary Generators
Is fuel regulator sized to have a fuel flow delivery rat-
ing (CFH) at least 10% greater than the 100% rated
kW fuel consumption requirement of the generator?
Is fuel pressure regulator approved for a mechanized
engine application?
Does fuel pressure regulator have an accuracy rating
of 1% or less, and/or have a maximum allowable fuel
pressure drop of 1–2 in water column (0.25–0.50 kPa)
under all operating conditions; that is, static, cranking,
running at no load, and running at full load (as mea-
sured at the primary fuel pressure regulator)?
Does fuel pressure regulator have a spring rating
appropriate for the required fuel pressure as listed in
the unit specification sheet?
Does fuel system use black iron piping or other
approved fuel line?
Is fuel line rigidly mounted and protected against
vibration?
Is a length of flexible fuel line installed between gener-
ator connection point and rigid fuel supply piping? Is
the flexible fuel line straight without bends, twists, or
kinks?
Is fuel piping correctly sized to maintain required fuel
supply pressure and volume under varying load con-
ditions?
Was an approved pipe sealant or joint compound
used on all threaded fittings?
Is a fuel shutoff valve installed near unit? Was correct
operation of fuel shutoff valve verified?
Was Final Operating Test performed to verify system
operates correctly in all modes of operation?
Is there any evidence of leakage at any hoses,
clamps, or fittings?
Do these parameters meet all applicable codes and
local jurisdiction?
