For satisfactory operation, propane gas pressure must be 11 inch
WC at the furnace manifold with all gas appliances in operation.
Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors:

1. Vaporization rate, depending on temperature of the liquid,

and “wetted surface” area of the container or containers.

2. Proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation is

recommended for both cost and efficiency).

3. Pressure drop in lines between regulators, and between

second stage regulator and the appliance. Pipe size will
depend on length of pipe run and total load of all
appliances.

Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization,
recommended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is available from
most regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.

Since propane gas will quickly dissolve white lead and most
standard commercial compounds, special pipe dope must be used.
Shellac-based compounds resistant to the actions of liquefied
petroleum gases such as Gasolac

®

, Stalactic

®

, Clyde’s

®

 or John

Crane

®

 are satisfactory.

Refer to the following illustration for typical propane gas installations
and piping.

*Data in accordance with NFPA pamphlet NO. 54

Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for the
CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Ductwork
should be designed in accordance with the recommended methods
of “Air Conditioning Contractors of America” Manual D.

A duct system must be installed in accordance with Standards of
the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air
Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems. Pamphlets
No. 90A and 90B.

A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct
connected to the furnace. NOTE:  Ductwork must never be attached
to the back of the furnace.  Supply and return connections to the
furnace may be made with flexible joints to reduce noise
transmission. To prevent the blower from interfering with combustion
air or draft when a central return is used, a connecting duct must
be installed between the unit and the utility room wall. A room,
closet, or alcove must not be used as a return air chamber.

When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the
furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream side
of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating element.
With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other means used
to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent chilled air
from entering the furnace and, if manually operated, must be
equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the
damper is in the full heat or cool position.

When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is
recommended that a removable access panel be provided in the
outlet air duct. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace
is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can
be viewed for visual light inspection or such that a sampling probe
can be inserted into the airstream. The access panel must be made
to prevent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.

When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air
entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.

When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air circulated
by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace,
the return air shall also be handled by a duct sealed to the furnace
casing and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
