C 950/C 1050 (Pro TL 175 C/199 C) – 6 720 805 440 (2019/10)
DANGER:
Explosion hazard!
▶ The heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures equal to or more than 0.5 psig. If overpressure
has occurred, such as through improper testing of the gas
lines or malfunction of the supply system, the gas valve
must be checked for safe operation.
GAS CONNECTIONS
▶ Install a manual gas shut off valve on the gas supply line
within easy reach of the appliance.
▶ Install a union when connecting gas supply.
▶ The minimum internal diameter required for any appliance
connector is ¾”, see chapter 4.8.1 for more details on pipe
sizing.
▶ Undersized flexible appliance connector not permitted.
▶ National Fuel Gas Code requires that a sediment trap (drip
leg) be installed on gas appliances not so equipped. The
drip leg must be accessible and not subject to freezing
conditions. Install in accordance with the
recommendations of the serving gas supplier, see fig. 2.

Once connections are made, check for gas leaks at all joints.
Apply some gas leak detection solution to all gas fittings.
Bubbles are a sign of a leak. A combustible gas detector may
also be used to detect for leaks.
DANGER:
Explosion hazard!
▶ If you detect a leak, shut off the gas. Tighten appropriate
fittings to stop leak. Turn the gas on and check again with a
gas leak detection solution. Never test for gas leaks using a
match or flame.
GAS LINE SIZING
The gas supply piping for a single heater should be sized for a
maximum draw of 175000 BTU/hr for the C950 (Pro TL 175 C)
and 199000 BTU/hr for the C 1050 (Pro TL 199 C). Measure
the length of gas supply line from the building's gas main to the
heater and use the chapter 4.8.1 and 4.8.2, page 42 or the
gas line manufacturer’s sizing tables to determine the pipe
diameter necessary. If there are more gas drawing appliances
on the line, size the gas line according to the total maximum
amount of BTU draw input rating of for all appliances combined.
Note: Undersizing the gas line may result in diminished hot
water flow rate and temperature. See chapter 4.14, page 49
for the procedure to measure gas pressure. Proper gas
pressure must be confirmed at time of installation.
