II Gas piping

Table 3

Natural gas supply pipe sizing

1.Size gas piping considering —

a.Diameter and length of gas supply piping.

b.Number of fittings.

c.Maximum gas consumption (including any possible future expansion).

d.Allowable pressure drop from gas meter outlet to boiler. For pressure drops, see ANSI-Z223.1 – latest edition. Canadian installations must comply with B149.1 or B149.2 Installation Code.

2.Size natural gas piping from Table 3, below. Size piping to provide proper inlet pressure to gas valve when operating at rated input.

a.Inlet gas pressure to manual main shut-off gas valve —

minimum 7" W.C. standard (5" on special order) – maximum 13" W.C.

b.If pressure to gas valve exceeds 13" W.C., install positive dead-end lockup gas pressure regulator upstream of hand valve.

c.To obtain approximate cubic feet per hour, divide input (BTU/HR) by 1000.

3.Remove gas supply knockout disc from jacket panel.

4.Follow good piping practices.

5.Pipe joint compound (pipe dope) must be resistant to corrosive action of liquefied petroleum gases. Apply sparingly only to male threads of pipe joints.

6.Install drip leg at inlet of gas connection to boiler. Where local utility requires, extend drip leg to floor.

7.Install ground joint union when required for servicing.

8.Support piping by hangers, not by boiler or its accessories.

9.Purge all air from supply piping.

10.Before operating boiler, check boiler and its gas connections for leaks.

Do not check for gas leaks with an open flame – BUBBLE TEST. Failure to use bubble test or test for leaks can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

a.Close manual main shut-off valve during any pressure testing at less than 13" W.C.

b.Disconnect boiler and gas controls from gas supply piping during any pressure test greater than 13" W.C.

11.Set gas pressure switch as follows or to local inspector’s requirements (LGB-21 through LGB-23 only):

a.High – 14" W.C.

12.Canada only - manual main shut-off valve must be identified by installer.
