GAS PIPING To avoid damage or possible personal injury, do not connect gas piping to this unit until a supply line pressure/leak test has been completed. Connecting the unit before completing the pressure/leak test may damage the unit gas valve and result in a fi re hazard. Do not rely on a shut-off valve to isolate the unit while conducting gas pressure/leak tests. These valves may not be completely shut off, exposing the gas valve to excessive pressure and damage. PIPE SIZING NOTICE: If m

PIPE INSTALLATION 1. Install the gas piping in accordance with applicable Figure 4 - Pipe Installation, Standard Controls local codes. 2. Check gas supply pressure. Each unit heater must be connected to a manifold pressure and a gas supply capable of supplying its full rated capacity as specified in Table 4. A field LP tank regulator must be used to limit the supply pressure to a maximum of 14 in. W.C. (3.5 kPa). All piping should be sized in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI Sta
