Gas Piping
CAUTION
If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by
the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall
be installed at the gas valve and extend outside the
furnace cabinet. The flexible connector can then be
added between the black iron pipe and the gas supply
line.

Do not over torque (800 in-lbs) or under torque (350
in-lbs) when attaching the gas piping to the gas valve.
Gas supply piping should not allow more than 0.5" W.C.
drop in pressure between gas meter and unit. Supply gas

In case emergency shutdown is required, turn off the
main shut-off valve and disconnect the main power to
unit. These controls should be properly labeled by the
installer.
When pressure testing gas lines, the gas valve must be
disconnected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged if
subjected to more than 0.5 psig (14" W.C.). See Figure 56.
