3.6.13  Vent Elbows 
The turn from horizontal to vertical should be made 
with two 45º ells or with one long radius 90º ell for 
best operation.  Do not use "short radius" ells.

IPING
 
Before making the gas hook-up, make sure the boiler 
is being supplied with the type of fuel shown on the 
boiler nameplate. 
The boiler shall be installed such that the gas ignition 
system components are protected from water 
(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance 
operation and service (circulator replacement, control 
replacement, etc.) 
The boiler is factory fire-tested and adjusted for proper 
combustion  with natural  gas supply pressure of 7” 
W.C.   Typical gas pressure supply for natural gas is 
7" W.C.  (11" W.C. for propane).  The gas train 
components are certified to handle a maximum inlet 
pressure of 14" W.C. (1/2 psig.). If the available gas 
pressure exceeds 14" W.C., a suitable additional 
intermediate gas pressure regulator of the "lock up" 
type must be provided to reduce the pressure to less 
than 14" W.C.  
 
 
WARNING!  
All threaded connections must be made using a 
pipe compound that is resistant to the action of 
liquefied petroleum gases.  Do not use Teflon 
tape on gas line threads. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gas Piping 
 
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the gas cock 
must be a “T-handle type.” 
 
Note:  Install a sediment trap (drip leg) and a union 
connection ahead of the primary manual shutoff valve 
on the boiler.  Gas piping should be installed in 
accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 
Z223.1, latest edition, and any other local codes 
which may apply; in Canada see CAN/CGA-B.149. 
 
Note:
  See Pipe Capacity for Natural Gas chart on the 
following page for required pipe size, based on 
overall length of pipe from meter plus equivalent 
length of all fittings.  Approximate sizing may be 
based on 1 cubic foot of natural gas per 1,000 Btu per 
hour input, i.e., 500,000 Btu per hour requires about 
500 cubic feet per hour.  (See "Typical Boiler 
Operating Conditions," Section 4.3, for more 
information.)
