Step 11 — Install Gas Piping
Installation of the gas piping must be accordance with lo-
cal building codes and with applicable national codes. In
U.S.A., refer to NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 National Fuel Gas
Code (NFGC). In Canada, installation must be accordance
with the CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 installa-
tion codes for gas burning appliances.
This unit is factory equipped for use with Natural Gas fuel
at elevations up to 2000 ft (610 m) above sea level. Unit may
be field converted for operation at elevations above 2000 ft
(610 m) and/or for use with liquefied petroleum fuel. See ac-
cessory kit installation instructions regarding these accesso-
ries.
NOTE: Furnace gas input rate on rating plate is for installation
up to 2000 ft (610 m) above sea level. The input rating for alti-
tudes above 2000 ft (610 m) must be derated by 4% for each
1000 ft (305 m) above sea level.
For natural gas applications, gas pressure at unit gas con-
nection must not be less than 4 in. wg (996 Pa) or greater than
13 in. wg (3240 Pa) while the unit is operating. On 48FCF/
T*05-07 (high-heat) units, the gas pressure at unit gas con-
nection must not be less than 5 in. wg (1245 Pa) or greater
than 13 in. wg (3240 Pa) while the unit is operating, see
Table 3. For liquefied petroleum applications, the gas pres-
sure must not be less than 11 in. wg (2740 Pa) or greater than
13 in. wg (3240 Pa) at the unit connection, see Table 4.

Ranges
The gas supply pipe enters the unit at the burner access
panel on the front side of the unit, through the long slot at the
bottom of the access panel. The gas connection to the unit is
made to the

-in. FPT gas inlet port on the unit gas valve.
Manifold pressure is factory-adjusted for natural gas fuel
use. Adjust as required to obtain best flame characteristics.
See Table 5.
Table 5 — Natural Gas Manifold Pressure Ranges
Manifold pressure for LP fuel use must be adjusted to speci-
fied range. Follow instructions in the accessory kit to make ini-
tial readjustment, see Table 6.
Table 6 — Liquid Propane Manifold Pressure
Ranges
Install a gas supply line that runs to the unit heating sec-
tion. Refer to the NFPA 54/NFGC or equivalent code for gas
pipe sizing data. Do not use a pipe size smaller than
1
/
2
-inch.
Size the gas supply line to allow for a maximum pressure
drop of 0.5-in. wg (124 Pa) between gas regulator source and
unit gas valve connection when unit is operating at high-fire
flow rate.
The gas supply line can approach the unit in three ways:
horizontally from outside the unit (across the roof), thru-curb/
under unit basepan (accessory kit required), or through unit
basepan (factory option or accessory kit required). Consult
accessory kit installation instructions for details on these in-
stallation methods. Observe clearance to gas line components
per Fig. 16.

CAUTION
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.
When connecting the gas line to the unit gas valve, the
installer MUST use a backup wrench to prevent damage to
the valve.
