Gas Supply
IMPORTANT! Before connecting the gas supply to the burner control box:
•
Verify that the heater's gas type (as listed on the rating plate) matches that of your application.
• Check that the gas piping and service has the capacity to handle the total gas consumption of all
heaters being installed, as well as any other gas appliances being connected to the supply line.
• Check that the main gas supply line is of proper diameter to supply the required fuel pressures.
• If utilizing used pipe, verify that its condition is clean and comparable to a new pipe. Test all gas
supply lines in accordance with local codes.
• Test and confirm that inlet pressures are correct. Refer to the heater rating plate for gas type and
the required minimum and maximum pressures (see Chart 3.5). The gas supply pipe must be of
sufficient size to provide the required capacity and inlet pressure to the heater (if necessary,
consult the local gas company). Do not exceed the maximum allowed pressures for the heater,
the space or the gas piping system.
