Optional gas heat
The optional gas-fired heaters have aluminized-steel
or optional stainless steel, tubular heat exchangers
with spark ignition with proven pilot.
This unit is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas at elevations up to 2000 ft (610 m) above
sea level. The unit may be field-converted for use
with propane gas and/or elevations above 2000 ft
with a listed conversion kit.
Note: Installation of this furnace at altitudes
above 2000 ft (610 m) shall be in accordance
with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or National Standard of
Canada, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CSA B149.1.

1 On VAV units with a non-modulating furnace, individual VAV
boxes must be fully open in heating mode to ensure airflow
falls within the temperature rise range.

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.
Follow the “National Fuel Gas Code” Z223.1 (in
U.S.A.) or the current Gas Installation Codes
CSA-B149.1 (in Canada) in all cases unless they
are superseded by local codes or gas utility
requirements.
See Table 50. The heating value of the gas may vary
by locality. You must check the value 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 1 1/4-in.
pipe connection at the entrance fitting. The
supply line should not be sized smaller than the
entrance fitting size.
The following figures show the gas piping.
