1.
accordance with ANSI Z223.1 and local codes or utility.
A ground joint union should be installed for easy removal
of gas control for servicing. A drip leg or trap must be
installed at the bottom of a vertical section of piping at the
inlet to the boiler. A pipe compound resistant to the action
of liquified petroleum gases must be used on all threaded
pipe connections. Check with the local utility for location
of manual shutoff valve if required. (Figure #13)
Figure #13
The gas line should be of adequate size to prevent undue
2.
pressure drop and never smaller than the pipe size of the
main gas control valve. (See Chart)
ELECTRICAL WIRING
