Figure 26: Bottom Entry Gas Piping
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.
NOTE: There may be a local gas utility requirement specifying a
minimum diameter for gas piping. All units require a 3/4
inch pipe connection at the entrance fitting. Line should
not be sized smaller than the entrance fitting size.
Gas Connection
The gas supply line can be routed within the space and roof curb,
exiting through the unit’s basepan. Refer to Figures 8 and 9 for
the gas piping inlet location. Typical supply piping arrangements
are shown in Figures 25 and 26. All pipe nipples, fittings, and the
gas cock are field supplied or may be purchased in TempMaster
accessory kit #1GP0405.
Gas piping recommendations:
1. A drip leg and a ground joint union must be installed in the
gas piping.
2. Where required by local codes, a manual shut-off valve
must be installed outside of the unit.
3. Use wrought iron or steel pipe for all gas lines. Pipe dope
should be applied sparingly to male threads only.
4. All piping should be cleaned of dirt and scale by
hammering on the outside of the pipe and blowing out
loose particles. Before initial start-up, be sure that all gas
lines external to the unit have been purged of air.
5. The gas supply should be a separate line and installed in
accordance with all safety codes as prescribed under
“Limitations”.

Natural gas may contain some propane. Propane is an
excellent solvent and will quickly dissolve white lead and
most standard commercial compounds. A special pipe
dope must be used when assembling wrought iron or
steel pipe. Shellac based compounds such as Gaskolac
or Stalastic, and compounds such as Rectorseal #5,
Clydes’s or John Crane may be used.
