4. If positive forced ventilation is adopted, ensure that
there will be no appreciable pressure variation in the
equipment room.
5. Avoid ventilation which creates a negative pressure
in the building as it will seriously aff ect combustion
and proper operation of the burner. Please note that
exhaust fans or similar equipment can create a down
draft in the chimney or starve the burner’s air supply.
Either case may result in poor combustion or nuisance
failures. A properly designed make-up air system in the
equipment room will preclude these possibilities and is
required to maintain proper combustion.
6. Eliminate potential for high risk situations for particulate
matter to be in the combustion air supply (e.g., as a
result of construction and maintenance activities).
Utilities
The Gas Supply
Adhere to the following for gas supply installation:
1. Install gas piping in accordance with all applicable
codes.
2. Ensure pipe and fi ttings used are new and free of dirt or
other deposits.
3. Ensure piping is of the proper size for adequate gas
supply to the gas head assembly. Consult your gas
company for specifi c recommendations.
4. When making gas piping joints, use a sealing
compound resistant to the action of liquefi ed
petroleum gases. Do not use Tefl on tape on gas line
heads.
