66433-YIM-B-100410 Unitary Products GroupGAS PIPINGProper sizing of gas piping depends on the cubic feet perhour of gas flow required, specific gravity of the gas and thelength of run. National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 or CSA B149.1should be followed in all cases unless superseded by localcodes or gas company requirements. Refer to Tables 5 & 6.The heating value of the gas may differ with locality. Thevalue should be checked with the local gas utility.NOTE: There may be a local gas utility requirement specify-ing a minimum diameter for gas piping. All unitsrequire a 1/2 inch pipe connection at the gas valve.GAS CONNECTIONThe gas supply line can be routed through the hole locatedon the left side of the unit. Refer to Figure 6 to locate theseaccess openings. Typical supply piping arrangements areshown in Figure 4.Gas piping requirements:1. A drip leg and a ground joint union must be installed inthe gas piping.2. When required by local codes, a manual shut-off valvemay have to be installed outside of the unit.3. Use wrought iron or steel pipe for all gas lines. Pipe dopeshould be applied sparingly to male threads only.FIGURE 4 - EXTERNAL SUPPLY CONNECTIONEXTERNAL SHUT-OFF1/2x1/2GASCOCK1/2x1/2UNIONAUTOMATICGASVALVEDRIPLEG1/2-14NPTTABLE 5: NATURAL GAS PIPE SIZING CHART 11.
