    STEP 3: VENTING THE BOILER DANGER: Draft hood and vent outlet must not be altered, as proper operation would be jeopardized; flame rollout, fire or carbon monoxide poisoning will result. NOTES: Additional venting and chimney requirements are provided on page 8. For boilers equipped with intermittent pilot install plug supplied in damper package into damper vane hole.

    STEP 4: INSTALLING & TESTING GAS PIPING PROCEDURE A: Select gas pipe size which will result in a pressure drop of less than 0.3" W.C. for natural gas or 0.5" W.C. for propane, following example below. Example: Boiler Model HC-120D is to be installed. Distance from existing gas meter to installation site is 20 ft. What pipe size must be used? Local utility indicates heating value of natural gas being supplied is 1020 Btu per cu.ft.
