If the Munchkin is set up for liquefied petroleum (LP) gas, some geographic areas follow the Uniform
Mechanical Code, section 304.6, “Liquefied petroleum gas burning appliances shall not be installed in
a pit, basement or similar location where heavier-than-air gas might collect. Appliances so fueled, shall
not be installed in a below grade under-floor space or basement unless such location is provided with
an approved means for removal of unburned gas.”
D. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
A pressure relief valve is installed into the right front side of the manifold. It is required that it meets
the requirements of ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV or CSA B51: Boiler
Pressure Vessel and Piping Code as applicable for heating boilers. A ¾” pipe connected to the pressure
relief valve must be directed to a floor drain or suitable location within 6” of a drain or floor. To protect
the valve from freezing, do not plug or cap the pressure relief valve.
