GAS SPILLAGE SENSING KIT

Model: GSK-160A

(with automatic reset)

Installation of a spillage SAFETY Switch is recommended for

LP and Natural gas fired systems with gas barometric draft

controls. This device is intended for installation on a

double-acting barometric draft control (such as the Field

Controls model MG-1) that is installed in the venting

system of an 80+ efficiency rated, fan-assisted gas-fired

appliance. It is designed to detect flue gas spillage caused by a

blocked flue system and/or inadequate draft. This device MUST

be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with the

manufacturer's installation instructions. Wiring MUST be in

accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable

local codes.

Before and after adding this safety control on existing

appliances, an installation inspection in accordance with the

National Fuel Gas Code 54, Z223.1 Appendix H should be

performed and a combustion analysis is recommended to

determine the operating condition of the appliance.

CAUTION: Disconnect Electrical Power When Wiring Spillage

Switch

Page 1 GAS SPILLAGE SENSING KIT Model: GSK-160A (with automatic reset) Installation of a spillage SAFETY Switch is recommended for LP and Natural gas fired systems with gas barometric draft controls. This device is intended for installation on a double-acting barometric draft control (such as the Field Controls model MG-1) that is installed in the venting system of an 80+ efficiency rated, fan-assisted gas-fired appliance.
Page 2 For co-venting applications with an atmospheric-burner-equipped appliance (such as a water heater), install the draft control with GSK-160A immediately below the tee or wye fitting, as shown by the dashed lines in the figure, to help prevent spillage at the water heater. A Field Controls Barohood with one GSK-3 mounted (recommended) or two GSK-3 spill switches mounted on the draft hood (available in kit SSK-1), wired into the thermocouple circuit (use one TCA-1 for either method) is recommended for additional safety.
Page 3 WIRING: CAUTION: When wiring the spillage switch into the burner control circuit route the wiring and secure away from any hot surface. Shut off all electrical power and gas supply to the appliance before working with any electrical connections. CAUTION: Never wire to the 24V GND terminal. Wire the spill switch in series with the burner fan-proving air pressure switch(es) as shown in Figure 4.
