CAUTION: Before making the gas pipe connection give seri-
ous consideration to providing the required clearance neces-
sary to remove the access panels on the unit (e.g., economizer
and filter access panels).
NOTE: In the absence of local codes, the installation must
conform with American National Standard--Z223.1--National
Fuel Gas Code, Latest Revision.
The available gas supply must agree with the required gas supply
marked on the unit nameplate. Minimum permissible gas supply
pressure for purpose of input adjustment must be at least 7.0 in.
w. c. (inches water column) for natural gas and 11 in. w. c. for LP gas.
PIPE DELIVERY SCHEDULE
NOTE: The following procedure and tables below apply to
Natural Gas only.
1. Obtain from the gas company the heating value and specific
gravity of the gas delivered.
2. Determine the exact length of pipe needed.
3. Read BTUH input nameplate on the furnace.
4. Use the multiplier opposite the specific gravity of the gas given
in Table 1 below and insert in the following formula:
Furnace Input in BTUH
CFH =
Gas Heat Content in BTU/Cu. Ft. X Multiplier
TABLE 1
This will give the factor for columns 2 through 6 in Table 2.

GAS PRESSURE SET-UP PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
TO TEST FOR GAS LEAKS: AN EXPLOSION COULD
OCCUR, CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH.
IMPORTANT: The furnace and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
exceeding 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures less than
or equal to 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).
GAS SUPPLY LINE PRESSURE
Before connecting the unit to the gas supply line, be sure to
determine the gas pressure in the line.
If the gas supply pressure is excessive (above 14 inches water
column or 1/2 psig), install a pressure regulator either at the supply
source or in the branch circuit serving the unit. Once the regulator
is installed, set it to provide a pressure of 7 inches water column with
the unit operating and no greater than 14 inches water column with
the unit not firing.
NOTE: Gas pressure in excess of 14 inches water column
(1/2 psig) may damage the regulator, while improper regulation
may result at pressures lower than 5.5 inches water column at

Follow these steps to complete the installation of the unit gas piping.
See Figure 14.
1. Install a tapped, Style A (1/8-inch NPT tap) shut-off gas cock at
the end of the gas supply line near the unit. Be sure the tapped
gas cock is downstream of the pressure regulator, if used.
