SECTION 8: GAS PIPING
It is important that the gas supply pipe and the 
electrical connections do not support any of the 
heater’s weight.
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by the 
gas supply company. An existing meter should be 
checked, preferably by the company, to ensure that 
the meter is adequate for the rate of gas supply 
required.
Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with 
local and national codes. Pipe work from the meter 
to the heater(s) must be of adequate size. Pipes of 
smaller size than the heater inlet gas connection 
should not be used.
8.1 Connections
Connect the heater to the gas supply ensuring that 
the final connections are as follows:
• Gas supply pipe work is run in medium or heavy 
gauge tubing in compliance with local and 
national codes.
• The gas supply pipe is adequately sized to carry 
the total volume of gas for the complete 
installation.
• An isolating valve and union connection should 
be used and fitted into the supply adjacent to the 
heater.
• For suspended heaters, use an approved metal 
flexible connection between the isolating valve 
and the heater. To reduce pressure loss, use 
one pipe size larger than the heater gas 
connection.
IMPORTANT - The complete installation must be 
purged and tested for gas soundness in accordance 
with local and national codes.
