Gas Connection - Rinnai FC510 Installation And Operation Manual

Installation Location (continued)

Gas Connection

1. Attach 2 fixing plates to the bottom of the base
plate before connecting the gas.
2. The gas supply line must be gas tight, sized and
installed so as to provide a supply of a gas
sufficient to meet the maximum demand of the
heater without loss of pressure.
3. The supplied shut off valve must be installed in
the upstream of the gas line to permit servicing.
4. Flexible pipe and any appliance connector valve
used for gas piping must be types approved by
nationally recognized agencies.
5. Any compound used on the threaded joint of the
gas piping must be a type which resists the action
of liquefied petroleum gas (propane / LPG).
6. Check the gas supply pressure immediately
upstream at a location provided by the gas
company. Supplied gas pressure must be within
the limits shown in the specifications section.
7. After completion of gas pipe connections, all
joints including the heater must be checked for
gas tightness by means of leak detector solution,
soap and water, or an equivalent nonflammable
solution, as applicable. (Since some leak test
solutions, including soap and water, may cause
corrosion or stress cracking, the piping must be
rinsed with water after testing, unless it has been
determined that the leak test solution is
noncorrosive.)
8. After completing pipework, secure the heater to
the floor. Use the 2 screws provided, as shown in
the drawing. To avoid deforming the floor plate,
do not over torque the screws.
