Allowances for Expansion

Allowances for Expansion
Allowances must be made for the system to expand as detailed in the Heater Expansion Chart below.
The supplied Type 1 hose gas connector is recommended. If, however, local codes require rigid piping to
the heater, a swing joint can be used.
Chart 3.9 • Heater Expansion Chart
Exchanger length and gas input will determine overall expansion. Heaters in a typical installation will
expand towards both the burner and vent ends. Review for proper flexible gas connection.
