Optional Gas Heat
These gas-fired heaters have aluminized-steel or optional
stainless steel, tubular heat exchangers with spark ignition with
proven pilot.
Gas Piping
Proper sizing of gas piping depends on the cubic feet per hour
of gas flow required, specific gravity of the gas and the length of
run. “National Fuel Gas Code” Z223.1 (in U.S.A.) or the current
Gas Installation Codes CSA-B149.1 (in Canada) should be
followed in all cases unless superseded by local codes or gas
utility requirements. Refer to the Pipe Sizing Table 12. The
heating value of the gas may differ with locality. The value
should be checked with the local gas utility.
NOTE: There may be a local gas utility requirement specifying
a minimum diameter for gas piping. All units require a
one-inch pipe connection at the entrance fitting.

NOTE: Maximum capacity of pipe in cubic feet of gas per hour
based upon a pressure drop of 0.3 inch W.C. and 0.6
specific gravity gas.
