All piping must be in accordance with requirements outlined in the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI/Z223.1a (latest edition) or CAN/CGA-B149.1 and B149.2 (See
Paragraph 2). Gas supply piping installation should conform with good practice
and with local codes. Support gas piping with pipe hangers, metal strapping, or
other suitable material; do not rely on the heater to support the gas pipe.

The heater is orificed for operation with natural gas having a heating value of 1000
(± 50) BTUH per cubic ft or propane gas with a heating value of 2500 (± 100)
BTUH per cubic ft. If the gas at the installation does not meet these specifications,
consult the factory for proper orificing.
