G. Gas Piping
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and local
codes. Refer to NFGC in the U.S. Canadian installations must be
made in accordance with NSCNGPIC 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.
CAUTION: Connect gas pipe to furnace using a backup
wrench to avoid damaging gas controls.
WARNING: Gas valve shutoff switch MUST be facing
forward or tilted upward. Failure to follow this warning
could result in property damage or death.
WARNING: 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. A
failure to follow this warning could result in fire, explo-
sion, personal injury, or death.
