pressure drop of 0.5–in wc (based on a 0.60 specific gravity gas).
Ref: Table 9–2 NFGC.
PIC and all authorities having jurisdiction. Gas supply line should
be a separate line running directly from meter to furnace, if
possible. Refer to Table 3 for recommended gas pipe sizing. Risers
must be used to connect to furnace and to meter. Support all gas
piping with appropriate straps, hangers, etc. Use a minimum of 1
hanger every 6 ft. Joint compound (pipe dope) should be applied
sparingly and only to male threads of joints. Pipe dope must be
resistant to propane gas.
Connect gas pipe to furnace using a backup wrench to avoid
damaging gas controls.
Gas valve shutoff switch MUST be facing forward or tilted
upward. Failure to follow this warning could result in
property damage or death.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never test
for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection of
leaks to check all connections, as specified in "Adjustments"
section. A failure to follow this warning could result in fire,
explosion, personal injury, or death.
Use proper length of pipe to avoid stress on gas control
manifold. Failure to follow this warning could result in a gas
leak resulting in fire, explosion, personal injury, or death.
Install a sediment trap in riser leading to furnace. Trap can be
installed by connecting a tee to riser leading to furnace so
straight-through section of tee is vertical. Then connect a capped
nipple into lower end of tee. Capped nipple should extend below
level of gas controls. Place a ground joint union between gas
control manifold and manual gas shutoff valve. (See Fig. 26.)
If a flexible connector is required or allowed by authority
having jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be installed at gas
valve and extend a minimum of 2 in. outside furnace casing.
→
If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance connector,
always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector which
has previously serviced another gas appliance.
