2.7 GAS SUPPLY PIPING

The AERCO Benchmark 2.0LN Gas Components and Supply Design Guide, GF-2030 must be
consulted prior to designing or installing any gas supply piping.
NEVER USE MATCHES, CANDLES, FLAMES OR OTHER
SOURCES OF IGNITION TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Many soaps used for gas pipe leak testing are corrosive to metals.
There-fore, piping must be rinsed thoroughly with clean water after
leak checks have been completed.
All gas piping must be arranged so that it does not interfere with
removal of any covers, inhibit service/maintenance, or restrict
access between the unit and walls, or another unit.
Benchmark 2.0LN Dual-Fuel units contain two 2 inch gas inlet connections on the rear of the
unit as shown in Figure 2-3.
Prior to installation, all pipes should be de-burred and internally cleared of any scale, metal
chips or other foreign particles. Do Not install any flexible connectors or unapproved gas
fittings. Piping must be supported from the floor, ceiling or walls only and must not be supported
by the unit.
A suitable piping compound, approved for use with natural gas, should be used. Any excess
must be wiped off to prevent clogging of components.
To avoid unit damage when pressure testing gas piping, isolate the unit from the gas supply
piping. At no time should the gas pressure applied to the unit exceed 14" W.C. Leak test all
external piping thoroughly using a soap and water solution or suitable equivalent. The gas
piping used must meet all applicable codes.
