GAS PIPING
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with
national and local codes.
The gas supply line should be a separate line directly
from the meter to the furnace, if possible. Refer to Table I
for recommended gas pipe sizing.

Ref. Table C-4 NFPA 54-1984.
Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. It is best to slope
all pipe 1/4inch in 15 ft to prevent traps. All horizontal
runs should slope away from the meter, to risers. Risers
should be used to connect to the furnace and to the meter.
Joint compounds (pipe dope) should be applied
sparingly and only to the male threads of the joints.
Consult local supplier for type of compound to be used.
This pipe dope must be resistant to the action of LP
(propane) gas.
Install a sediment trap in the riser leading to the
furnace. This trap collects dirt or condensate. It can be
installed by connecting a Tee to the riser leading to the
furnace, so that the straight through section of the Tee
is vertical. Then connect a capped nipple into the lower
end of the Tee. The capped nipple should extend below
the level of the gas controls. See Fig. 3. Where a gum filter
is required by local codes, install it in accordance with
An accessible manual shutoff valve shall be installed
upstream of the furnace gas controls and within 6 ft of the
furnace. A 1/8-in. NPT plugged tapping, accessible for
test gage connection, must be installed immediately up¬
stream of the gas supply connection to the furnace, and
downstream of the manual shutoff valve.
