Operating instructions

WARNING: Use the proper length of pipes and ad-
equate piping support to avoid stress on the gas control
manifold. A failure to follow this warning can cause a gas
leak resulting in a fire, explosion, personal injury, or
death.
WARNING: Never purge a line into a combustion
chamber. Never use matches, candles, flame, or other
sources of ignition to check for gas leakage. Use a
soap-and-water solution to check for gas leaks. A failure
to follow this warning could result in fire, explosion,
personal injury, or death.
Piping should be pressure tested in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before furnace has been attached.
If test pressure exceeds 0.5 psig (14-in. wc), the gas supply pipe
must be disconnected from furnace and capped before pressure
test. If test pressure is equal to or less than 0.5 psig (14-in. wc),
turn off electric shutoff switch located on the gas valve before test.
It is recommended that ground joint union be loosened before
pressure testing.
Joint compounds (pipe dope) should be applied sparingly and only
to male threads of joints. This pipe dope must be resistant to action
of propane gas.
Install accessible manual shutoff valve upstream of furnace gas
controls and within 72 in. of furnace. A 1/8-in. NPT plugged
tapping is provided on gas value for test gage connection.
Installation of additional 1/8-in. NPT plugged tapping, accessible
for test gage connection, installed immediately upstream of gas
supply connection to furnace and downstream of manual shutoff
valve is not required. Place ground joint union between gas control
manifold and manual shutoff.
Install sediment trap in riser leading to furnace. The trap can be
installed by connecting a tee to riser leading from furnace. Connect
capped nipple into lower end of tee. The capped nipple should
extend below level of gas controls. (See Fig. 8.)
After all connections have been made, purge lines and check for
gas leakage with regulated gas supply pressure.
