Step 10 — Install Gas Piping
Installation of the gas piping must be in accordance with
local building codes and with applicable national codes.
In U.S.A., refer to NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 National Fuel
Gas Code (NFGC). In Canada, installation must be
accordance with the CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA
B149.2 installation codes for gas burning appliances.
This unit is factory equipped for use with Natural Gas fuel
at elevations up to 2000 ft (610 m) above sea level. Unit
may be field converted for operation at elevations above
2000 ft (610 m) and/or for use with liquefied petroleum
fuel. See accessory kit installation instructions regarding
these accessories.
NOTE: Furnace gas input rate on rating plate is for
installation up to 2000 ft (610 m) above sea level. In
U.S.A. the input rating for altitudes above 2000 ft (610 m)
must be derated by 4% for each 1000 ft (305 m) above sea
level. In Canada the input rating must be derated by 10%
for altitudes of 2000 ft (610 m) to 4500 ft (1372 m) above
sea level.
For natural gas applications, gas pressure at unit gas
connection must not be less than 5 in. wg (1246 Pa) or
greater than 13 in. wg (3240 Pa) while the unit is
operating. For liquified petroleum applications, the gas
pressure must not be less than 11 in. wg (2740 Pa) or
greater than 13 in. wg (3240 Pa) at the unit connection.
Gas Supply Line
The gas supply pipe enters the unit adjacent to the burner
access panel on the front side of the unit, through the
grommeted hole. The gas connection to the unit is made
to the
