SECTION IV: GAS PIPING Some utility companies or local codes require pipe sizes larger than the

GAS SAFETY nace rating plate and the instructions in this section specify the type of
gas approved for this furnace - only use those approved gases. The
installation of a drip leg and ground union is required. Refer to Figure
16.
An overpressure protection device, such as a pressure regulator,
must be installed in the gas piping system upstream of the furnace
and must act to limit the downstream pressure to the gas valve so it
does not exceed 0.5 psig [14" w.c. (3.48 kPa)]. Pressures exceed-
ing 0.5 psig [14” w.c. (3.48 kPa)] at the gas valve will cause damage An accessible manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of

the furnace or some of its components that will result in property
damage and loss of life. The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual external manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less
than 0.5 psig (3.5 kPa).
Plan your gas supply before determining the correct gas pipe entry.
Use 90° service elbow(s), or short nipples and conventional 90°
elbow(s) to enter through the cabinet access holes. The gas valve body is a very thin casting that cannot take any
external pressure. Never apply a pipe wrench to the body of the gas
valve when installing piping. A wrench must be placed on the octa-
gon hub located on the gas inlet side of the valve. Placing a wrench
to the body of the gas valve will damage the valve causing improper
operation and/or the valve to leak.
Gas piping may be connected from either side of the furnace using any
of the gas pipe entry knockouts on both sides of the furnace. Refer to
Figure 16.

PROPANE KITS
It is very important to choose the correct kit and/or gas orifices for the altitude and the type of gas for which the furnace is being installed.
Only use natural gas in furnaces designed for natural gas. Only use propane (LP) gas for furnaces that have been properly converted to use pro-
pane (LP) gas. Do not use this furnace with butane gas.
Incorrect gas orifices or a furnace that has been improperly converted will create an extremely dangerous condition resulting in premature heat
exchanger failure, excessive sooting, high levels of carbon monoxide, personal injury, property damage, a fire hazard and/or death.
High altitude and propane (LP) conversions are required in order for the appliance to satisfactory meet the application.
An authorized distributor or dealer must make all gas conversions.
In Canada, a certified conversion station or other qualified agency, using factory specified and/or approved parts, must perform the conversion.
The installer must take every precaution to insure that the furnace has been converted to the proper gas orifice size when the furnace is installed.
Do not attempt to drill out any orifices to obtain the proper orifice size. Drilling out a gas orifice will cause misalignment of the burner flames,
causing premature heat exchanger burnout, high levels of carbon monoxide, excessive sooting, a fire hazard, personal injury, property damage
and/or death.
