Lp Units, Tanks And Piping
All gas heat units are shipped from the factory equipped for
natural gas use only. The unit may be converted in the field for
use with LP gas with accessory kit model number 1NP0442.
All LP gas equipment must conform to the safety standards of
the National Fire Protection Association.
For satisfactory operation, LP gas pressure must be 10.5 inch
W.C. at the unit under full load. Maintaining proper gas
pressure depends on three main factors:
1. The vaporization rate which depends on the temperature of
the liquid and the “wetted surface” area of the container(s).
2. The proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation is
recommended).
3. The pressure drop in the lines between regulators and
between the second stage regulator and the appliance.
Pipe size required will depend on the length of the pipe run
and the total load of all appliances.
Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization,
recommended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is available
from most regulator manufacturers and LP gas suppliers.
Check all connections for leaks when piping is completed using
a soap solution. NEVER USE A FLAME.
Vent And Combustion Air
Venting slots in the heating compartment access panel remove
the need for a combustion air hood. The gas heat flue exhaust
is routed through factory installed exhaust piping with screen. If
necessary, a flue exhaust extension may be installed at the
point of installation.
Options/Accessories
Electric Heat
Electric heaters are available as factory-installed options or
field-installed accessories. Refer to electric heat instructions for
installation. These heaters mount in the heat compartment with
the heating elements extending into the supply air chamber. All
electric heaters are fused and intended for use with single point
power supply.
Motorized Outdoor Damper
The Motorized Outdoor Damper can be a factory installed
option or a field installed accessory. If factory installed, refer to
the instructions included with the outdoor air hood to complete
the assembly. Field installed Motorized Outdoor Damper
accessories include complete instructions for installation.
Economizer
The Economizer can be a factory installed option or a field
installed accessory. If factory installed, refer to the instructions
included with the outdoor air hood to complete the assembly.
Field installed Economizer accessories include complete
instructions for installation.
There are two Economizer options:
1. Down Flow application with barometric relief hood standard.
2. Horizontal Flow application that requires the purchase of a
barometric relief hood.
Threaded joints should be coated with a sealing
compound that is resistant to the action of liquefied
petroleum gases. Do not use Teflon tape.
LP gas is an excellent solvent and will quickly dissolve
white lead and most standard commercial compounds. A
special pipe dope must be used when assembling
wrought iron or steel pipe for LP. Shellac base
compounds such as Gaskolac or Stalastic, and
compounds such as Rectorseal #5, Clyde’s, or John
Crane may be used.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warning exactly could result
in serious injury, death or property damage.
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 fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
