Direct Gas Piping - Greenheck VSU Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Installation of Direct Gas Piping
IMPORTANT
All gas piping must be installed in accordance
with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI/Z223.1 and any local codes that may
apply. In Canada, the equipment shall be installed
in accordance with the Installation Code for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment (CGA B149) and
Provincial Regulations for the class. Authorities having
jurisdiction should be consulted before installations
are made.
WARNING
All components of this or any other gas-fired heating
unit must be leak tested prior to placing the unit into
operation. A soap and water solution should be used
to perform this test. NEVER test for gas leaks with an
open flame.
WARNING
If pressure testing in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa), the
heater and manual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the supply gas line.
WARNING
If pressure testing at or below 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa), the
heater must be isolated from the supply gas line by
closing its manual shutoff valve.
IMPORTANT
All piping should be clean and free of any foreign
matter. Foreign material entering the gas train can
damage the valves, regulators and burner.
IMPORTANT
Do NOT connect the unit to gas types other than
what is specified and do NOT connect the unit to
gas pressures that are outside of the pressure range
shown on the label.
When connecting the gas supply, the length of the
run must be considered in determining the pipe size
to avoid excessive pressure drop. Refer to a Gas
Engineer's Handbook for gas pipe capacities.

NOTE
Determine the Supply Gas Requirements
The unit's direct gas nameplate states the requirements
for the gas being supplied to the unit. The direct gas
nameplate is located on the outside of the unit on the
control center side.

Install Additional Regulator if Required
When the supply gas pressure exceeds the maximum
gas pressure shown on the direct gas nameplate, an
additional regulator (by others) is required to reduce the
pressure. The regulator must have a listed leak limiting
device or it must be vented to the outdoors.
The regulator located inside the unit is used to adjust
the unit's maximum output temperature.
