Gas Connections 
 
The gas supply lines must meet all requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code 
(ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition), or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1 Natural Gas 
Installation Code (Latest Edition) or CAN/CGA B149.2 Propane Installation 
Code (Latest Edition). 
 
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure for the purpose of input 
adjustment is one (1.0) inch (0.25 kPa) water column above the operating 
manifold pressure.  See the rating plate and gas valve for the manifold 
pressure and gas type.  The maximum permissible gas supply pressure is 
fourteen (14.0) inches (3.5 kPa) water column for natural gas and liquefied 
petroleum gases/propane gas. 
 
1.  Connect this water heater only to the type of gas (Natural or Propane gas) as 
shown on the rating plate.  Use clean black iron pipe or equivalent material 
approved by local codes and ordinances. (Dirt and scale from the pipe can 
enter the gas valve and cause it to malfunction).  The inlet gas line must have a 
minimum length of three (3) inches (7.6 cm) drip leg (sediment trap) installed as 
close to the water heater’s gas valve as possible.  A ground joint union must be 
installed as close to the water heater as possible in the gas supply line feeding 
the water heater to permit servicing of the water heater. Compounds used on 
the threaded joints of the gas piping must be resistant to the action of liquefied 
petroleum gases/propane gas.  DO NOT apply pipe dope to the gas valve inlet 
and make certain that no pipe dope has become lodged in the inlet screen of 
the gas valve.  Extreme care must be taken to ensure no pipe dope enters the 
gas valve.  Avoid excessive torque when tightening the gas supply line to the 
gas valve.  Excessive torque may result in cracking of the gas valve housing 
and could create a gas leak.  When tightening gas supply line to L.P. control, it 
is recommended to hold the inlet body of the control securely with an adequate 
wrench.  The suggested maximum torque is 31.5 ft. lbs. (4.4 kg-m).   
 
2.  This water heater and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the 
water heater in operation.  Check for gas leaks with a soap and water solution 
and a brush or a commercial leak detector fluid. NEVER USE A MATCH OR 
OPEN FLAME FOR TESTING!
 
 
3.  While checking for leaks care must be taken to prevent solution from   
contacting the electrical connections at the control. If electrical connections at the 
control become wet, they must be thoroughly dried before attempting to operate the 
water heater. 
WARNING
 
The manufacturer of this water heater will not be liable for any damage or injury 
caused as a result of a cracked gas inlet as a result of excessive torque. 
CAUTION 
The water heater and individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas 
supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in 
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).  The water heater must be isolated from the gas supply 
piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the 
gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).  The 
supply line must be capped when not connected to the water heater.
