SECTION
E
GAS
CONNECTION
I.The
gas
supply
line
shall
be
gas-tight,
sized
and so
installed
as to
provide
a
supply
of gas
sufficient
to
meet
the
maximum demand
of the
heater without loss
of
pressure.
2. A
shut
off
valve
should
be
installed
in the
upstream
of
the
gas
line
to
permit
servicing.
3.
Flexible
pipe
and any
appliance
connector
valve
used
for
gas
piping
shall
be
types approved
by
nationally
recognized agencies.
4.
Any
compound used
on the
threaded
joint
of the gas
piping
shall
be a
type which
resists
the
action
of
liquefied
petroleum gas.
5.
Supplied
gas
pressure must
be
within
the
limits
shown
in the
specifications.
6.
After
completion
of gas
connections,
all
joints;including
those
at the
heater
must
be
checked
for
gas-
tightness
by
means
of
leak
detector
solution, soap
and
water,
or an
equivalent nonflammable solution,
as
applicable.
ACAUTION:
Since some leak
test
solutions,
including
soap
and
water,
may
cause corrosion
or
stress
cracking,
the
piping
shall
be
rinsed with water after
testing, unless
it has
been determined that
the
leak
test
solution
is
noncorrosive.

7.
The
appliance
and its
appliance main
gas
valve
must
be
disconnected
from
the gas
supply
piping
system
during
any
pressure
testing
of
that
system
at
test
pressures
in
excess
of 1/2
psi(3.5kPa).
The
appliance
must
be
isolated
from
the gas
piping
system
by
closing
its
equipment shutoff valve during
any
pressure testing
of the gas
supply
piping
system
at
test
pressure equal
to or
less than
1/2
psi(3.5kPa).
8.
A
1/8"
test
plug
is
provided
for
testing
of
manifold
pressure
see
schematic
for
location
(page
27)
At
time
of
installation installer must supply
a
1/8"
N.P.T.
plugged tapping, accessible
for
test
gauge
connection, immediately upstream
of the gas
supply
connection
of the
appliance.
9.
The
minimum
and
maximum inlet
gas
supply
pressure
are for the
purpose
of
input
adjustment.
