Gas Connection
1. Safe operation of unit requires adequate gas supply with the required static and dynamic (flow) pressures. Actual piping
selection depends on many variables that must be carefully considered by the gas piping system designer. Do not
select gas pipe sizes based only on the supplied tables. These tables are for use by the gas piping system designer as
a reference in checking pipe size selections.
2. Gas pipe size may be larger than heater connection.
3. Installation of a union is suggested for ease of service.
4. Install a manual main gas shutoff valve, outside of the appliance gas connection and before the appliance gas valve,
when Local Codes require.
5. A sediment trap (drip leg) MUST be provided in the inlet of the gas connection to the unit.
6. The appliance regulator and valve bias ports utilize vent limiters/are designed and must respond to pressure changes in
the top cabinet, as opposed to atmospheric pressure. For proper operation, do not disconnect, alter, connect to
atmosphere or relocate these gas valve and regulator bias ports or bias port tubing.
Maximum Capacity of Pipe in Thousands of BTU's per hour for gas pressures of 14 Inches Water Column (0.5 PSIG) or less and a
pressure drop of 0.05 Inch Water Column (Based on NAT GAS, 1025BTU's per Cubic Foot of Gas and 0.60 Specific Gravity).

Gas Train and Controls Certification
NOTE: The gas train and controls assembly provided on this unit have been tested under the applicable American
National Standard to meet minimum safety and performance criteria such as safe lighting, combustion and safety
shutdown operation.
Gas Control Trains
All model 400 and 540 gas control trains include a main gas cock located externally, a combination valve, a union
which may or may not contain a factory installed orifice and a final manual shutoff valve with the manifold pressure tap
on the side of the valve.
All model 750, 1000, 1200, 1600, and 2000 gas control trains include a main gas cock located externally, a
proportionating valve, and a final manual shutoff valve with the manifold pressure tap on the side of the valve.
Caution: Do not adjust or remove any screws or bolts on gas train control components which are sealed with a red or
blue colored compound. Doing so will void all approvals and warranties.
