Universal Control System – Propane gas
1. Contact gas supplier to size pipes, tanks and regulator.
a. Inlet gas pressure to manual main shut-off gas valve —
minimum 11” W.C., maximum 13” W.C.
b. If pressure to gas valve exceeds 13” W.C., install 100% lock-up gas pressure regulator
upstream of hand valve.
2. Remove gas supply knockout disc from jacket panel.
3. Follow good piping practices.
4. Pipe joint compound (pipe dope) must be resistant to corrosive action of liquefied
petroleum gases. Apply sparingly only to male threads of pipe joints.
5. Install drip leg at inlet of gas connection to boiler. Where local utility requires, extend drip
leg to floor.
6. Install ground joint union when required for servicing.
7. Support piping by hangers, not by boiler or its accessories.
8. Purge all air from supply piping.
9. Before operating boiler, check boiler and its gas connections for leaks.
a. Close manual main shut-off valve during any pressure testing at less than 13” W.C.
b. Disconnect boiler and gas valve from gas supply piping during any pressure test
greater than 13” W.C.
10. Set gas pressure switch as follows or to local inspector’s requirements (LGB-21 through
LGB-23 only):
a. High – 14” W.C.
11. Canada only - manual main shut-off valve must be identifed by installer.

2. The boiler must be electrically grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition. Use 105 °C. thermoplastic wire, or equivalent, if any of
the original wire must be replaced (except for pilot spark, sense and ground wires).
3. Canadian installations must conform to CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and
any local or provincial codes.

Do not check for gas leaks with an open flame – BUBBLE TEST. Failure to
use bubble test or test for leaks can cause severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
For your safety, turn off electrical power supply before making any
electrical connections to avoid possible electrical shock hazard.
