Never purge a line into a combustion chamber. Never use
matches, candles, flame, or other sources of ignition to check
for gas leakage. Use a soap-and-water solution to check for
gas leaks. A failure to follow this warning could result in fire,
explosion, personal injury, or death.

* Cubic ft of gas per hr for gas pressures of 0.5 psig (14-in. wc) or less, and a
supply line pressure drop of 0.5-in. wc (based on a 0.60 specific gravity gas).
Ref: Table 10-2, NFPA 54-1996.
Piping should be pressure tested in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before furnace has been attached.
If test pressure exceeds 0.5 psig (14-in. wc), the gas supply pipe
must be disconnected from furnace and capped before pressure
test. If test pressure is equal to or less than 0.5 psig (14-in. wc),
turn off electric shutoff switch located on the gas valve before test.
It is recommended that ground joint union be loosened before
pressure testing.
Joint compounds (pipe dope) should be applied sparingly and only
to male threads of joints. This pipe dope must be resistant to action
of propane gas.
Install accessible manual shutoff valve upstream of furnace gas
controls and within 72 in. of furnace. A 1/8-in. NPT plugged
tapping is provided on gas value for test gage connection.
Installation of additional 1/8-in. NPT plugged tapping, accessible
