Requirements of Gas Heat
The unit gas train and optional through-the-base gas shut-
off valve are rated at 0.50 PSIG maximum. A pressure
reducing regulator is recommended to prevent this
maximum from being exceeded. These components must
be isolated during field gas piping test that exceed 0.50
PSIG. It is recommended that the field piping be capped
prior to the unit gas train or optional through-the-base gas
shut-off valve if present.
• Gas supply line properly sized and connected to the
unit gas train.
• All gas piping joints properly sealed.
• Gas piping leak checked with a soap solution. If piping
connections to the unit are complete, do not pressurize
piping in excess of 0.50 PSIG or 14–inch W.C. to
prevent component failure.
• Drip leg installed in the gas piping near the unit.
