instructions. 

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fi re 

department.

  

Gas pipe to your boiler must be correct size for 

length of run and for total BTU per hour input of all 

gas utilization equipment connected to it. See Table 

5 for proper size. Be sure your gas line complies with 

local codes and gas company requirements.

Gas line enters boiler from right side.

• Use piping materials and joining methods acceptable 

to authority having jurisdiction.  In absence of such 

requirements:

• USA - National Fuel gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
• Canada - Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, 

CAN/CSA B149.1

•  Use pipe joint compound suitable for LP gas on male 

threads only.

•  Use ground joint unions.
•  Install sediment trap upstream of gas controls.
•  Use two pipe wrenches when making connection to gas 

valve to keep it from turning.

•  Install manual shut-off valve in vertical pipe about 5 

feet above fl oor.

•  Tighten all joints securely.
•  Propane gas connections should only be made by 

licensed propane installer.

•  Two-stage regulation should be used by propane 

installer.

•  Propane gas piping should be checked out by propane 

installer.

Fire Hazard.  Do not use matches, candles, open 

fl ames, or other methods providing ignition source. 

Failure to comply will result in death or serious

Pressure test boiler and gas connection before placing 

boiler in operation.

•  Pressure test over 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).  Disconnect 

boiler and its individual gas shutoff valve from gas 

supply system.

•  Pressure test at 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) or less.  Isolate 

boiler from gas supply system by closing manual gas 

shutoff valve.

•  Locate leakage using gas detector, noncorrosive 

detection fl uid, or other leak detection method 

acceptable to authority having jurisdiction.  Do
