Utica Boilers PEG E Series Instruccion De Instalación

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
•  Do not try to light any appliance.
•  Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use 

any phone in your building.

•  Immediately call your gas supplier from a 

neighbor’s phone.  Follow gas supplier’s 

instructions. 

•  If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire 

department.

  

• Use piping materials and joining methods acceptable 

to authority having jurisdiction.  In absence of such 

requirements National Fuel gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54.

• Size and install gas piping system to provide sufficient 

gas supply to meet maximum input at not less than 

minimum supply pressure. See Table 6.

Natural Gas

Propane

Min. Supply Pressure

5" w/c

11" w/c

Max. Supply Pressure

13.5" w/c

13.5" w/c

Manifold Pressure

3.5" w/c

10.5" w/c

• Support piping with hooks straps, bands, brackets, 

hangers, or building structure components to prevent or 

dampen excessive vibrations and prevent strain on gas 

connection.  Gas valve will not support piping weight.

• Use thread (joint) compound (pipe dope) suitable for 

natural and liquefied petroleum gas.

• Install field sourced manual main shutoff valve, ground 

joint union, and sediment trap upstream of gas valve. 

See Figure 13.

Fire, explosion, asphyxiation hazard. Verify boiler 

is equipped with propane gas orifices and gas valve 

is configured for propane. Failure to follow these 

instructions may result in serious injury or death.

• Connections by licensed propane dealer only.
• Use two stage regulator provided by propane 

supplier.

• Have propane supplier check piping.

Fire Hazard.  Do not use matches, candles, open 

flames, or other methods providing ignition source. 

Failure to comply will result in death or serious 

injury.

!  

Pressure test boiler and gas connection before placing 

boiler in operation. Avoid excessive pressure that could 

damage pressure regulators, valves, or meters.

• Pressure test at 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) or less.  Isolate 

boiler from gas supply system by closing manual gas 

shutoff valve. 

• Locate leakage using gas detector, noncorrosive 

detection fluid, or other leak detection method 

acceptable to authority having jurisdiction.  Do not 

use matches, candles, open flames, or other methods 

providing ignition source.

• Correct leaks immediately and retest.
