127408-YIM-B-0606Unitary Products Group 23LP UNITS, TANKS AND PIPINGAll gas heat units are shipped from the factory equipped fornatural gas use only. The unit may be converted in the fieldfor use with LP gas with accessory kit model number1NP0441.All LP gas equipment must conform to the safety standards ofthe National Fire Protection Association.For satisfactory operation, LP gas pressure must be 10.5inch W.C. at the unit under full load. Maintaining proper gaspressure depends on three main factors:1. The vaporization rate which depends on the temperatureof the liquid and the “wetted surface” area of the con-tainer(s).2. The proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation isrecommended).3. The pressure drop in the lines between regulators andbetween the second stage regulator and the appliance.Pipe size required will depend on the length of the piperun and the total load of all appliances.Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization,recommended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is availablefrom most regulator manufacturers and LP gas suppliers.LP gas is an excellent solvent and will quickly dissolve whitelead and most standard commercial compounds. A specialpipe dope must be used when assembling wrought iron orsteel pipe for LP. Shellac base compounds such as Gaskolacor Stalastic, and compounds such as Rectorseal #5, Clyde’s,or John Crane may be used.Check all connections for leaks when piping is completedusing a soap solution. NEVER USE A FLAME.VENT AND COMBUSTION AIRVenting slots in the heating compartment access panelremove the need for a combustion air hood. The gas heatflue exhaust is routed through factory installed exhaust pipingwith screen. If necessary, a flue exhaust extension may beinstalled at the point of installation.OPTIONS/ACCESSORIESELECTRIC HEATElectric heaters are available as field installed accessories.Refer to electric heat instructions for installation.
