Outdoor boilers are typically shipped ready to fire on natural gas. Check boiler rating plate to determine
which fuel the boiler is set for. If set to natural gas, it may be converted to LP by installing an orifice (see page
11). In order to operate on LP gas, an orifice MUST BE installed. Failure to comply could result in severe
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
Table 4A Natural Gas Pipe Size Chart
The gas piping must be sized for the proper flow and length
of pipe, to avoid excessive pressure drop. Both the gas meter
and the gas regulator must be properly sized for the total gas
load.
If you experience a pressure drop greater than 1 inch w.c.,
the meter, regulator, or gas line is undersized or in need of
service. Perform the steps below when checking inlet gas
supply:
1. Turn the main power switch to the “OFF” position.
2. Shut off gas supply at the manual gas valve in the gas
piping to the appliance.
ƽ WARNING
3. Loosen the set screw one (1) full turn from inside the
pressure tap on top of the gas valve. Place the tubing of
the manometer over the tap once the set screw is
loosened as shown in FIG. 4-3.
4. Slowly turn on the gas supply at the field installed
manual gas valve.
5. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position.
6. Adjust the temperature set point on the control panel of
the SMART SYSTEM control module to call for heat.
7. Observe the gas supply pressure as the burner fires at
100% of rated input. Percent of burner input will be
displayed on the control panel.
8. Ensure inlet pressure is within specified range.
Minimum and maximum gas supply pressures are
specified in this section of the manual.
9. If gas supply pressure is within normal range and no
adjustments are needed, proceed on to Step 11.
10. If the gas pressure is out of range, contact the gas utility,
gas supplier, qualified installer or service agency to
determine the necessary steps to provide proper gas
pressure to the control.
11. Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position.
12. Shut off the gas supply at the manual gas valve in the gas
piping to the appliance.
13. Remove the manometer from the pressure tap on top of
the gas valve. Re-tighten the set screw inside the pressure
tap.
Check inlet gas supply
NOTICE
CSA or UL listed flexible gas connections
are acceptable, but you must exercise
caution to ensure that the line has adequate
capacity to allow your boiler to fire at full
rate. Consult with local codes for proper
installation or service procedures.
DO NOT adjust gas valve outlet pressure.
The gas valve is factory-set for the correct
outlet pressure. This setting is suitable
for natural gas and propane, requiring
no field adjustment. Attempting to
alter the gas valve outlet pressure could
result in damage to the valve, causing
potential severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
