Pipe Installation
1. Install the gas piping in accordance with applicable
local codes.
2. Check gas supply pressure. Each duct furnace must be
connected to a manifold pressure and a gas supply
capable of supplying its full rated capacity as specified
in Tab le 4 . A field LP tank regulator must be used to
limit the supply pressure to a maximum of 14 inches
wc (3.5 kPa). All piping should be sized in accordance
with the latest edition of ANSI Standard Z223.1
(NFPA 54), National Fuel Gas Code; in Canada,
according to CSA B149. See Table 1, p. 8 and Table 4
for correct gas piping size. If gas pressure is excessive
on natural gas applications, install a pressure
regulating valve in the line upstream from the main
shutoff valve.
3. Adequately support the piping to prevent strain on the
gas manifold and controls.
4. To prevent the mixing of moisture with gas, run the
take-off piping from the top, or side, of the main.
5. Standard duct furnaces, optional two-stage and
modulation units are supplied with a combination
valve which includes:
a. Manual “A” valve
b. Manual “B” valve
c. Solenoid valve
d. Pressure regulator
Pipe directly into the combination valve (see Figure 8,
p. 15).
6. Gas valve has a pressure test post requiring a 3/32-inch
hex head wrench to read gas supply and manifold
pressures. Open 1/4 turn counterclockwise to read,
turn clockwise to close and re-seat. A 5/16-inch ID hose
fits the pressure post.
7. Provide a drip leg in the gas piping near the gas duct
furnace. A ground joint union and a manual gas shutoff
valve should be installed ahead of the unit heater
controls to permit servicing. The manual shutoff valve
must be located external to the jacket (see Figure 8).
8. Make certain that all connections have been
adequately doped and tightened.

Notes:
1. Determine the required ft
3
/h by dividing the input by 1,000.
For SI/metric measurements: convert Btu/h to kW. Multiply the unit’s inputs (kW) by 0.0965 to determine m
3
/h.
2. For natural gas: select pipe size directly from the table.
3. For propane gas: multiply the ft
3
/h value by 0.633; then, use the table.
Refer to the metric conversion factors listed in “General Safety Information,” p. 3 for SI Unit measurement conversions.
