Reznor R6GP Unit Installation Manual - Manual (Page 11)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• All gas piping must be installed in compliance with
local codes and utility regulations. In the absence
of local codes the gas line installation must comply
with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes.
• Some local codes require the installation of a manual
main shut-off valve and ground joint union external
to the furnace. The shut-off valve should be readily
accessible for service and/or emergency use See
Figure 9 (page 12). Consult the local utility or gas
supplier for additional requirements regarding
placement of the manual main gas shut-off.
• Gas piping must never run in or through air ducts,
chimneys, gas vents, or elevator shafts.
• Compounds used to seal joints on gas piping must
be resistant to the actions of LP propane gas.
• The main gas valve and main power disconnect to
the furnace must be properly labeled by the installer
in case emergency shutdown is required.
• An 1/8 inch NPT plugged tap must be installed in
the gas line immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the furnace for use when measuring
the gas supply pressure. The plug should be readily
accessible for service use.
• A drip leg should be installed in the vertical pipe
run to the unit (Figure 9).
This unit is shipped from the factory for natural gas
operation at sea level elevation and is equipped with a
#36 orifice at each burner. Table 14 (page 40), lists gas
pipe capacities for standard pipe sizes as a function of
length in typical applications based on nominal pressure
drop in the line.
This unit only has right side gas entry. When connecting
the gas, provide clearance between the gas supply line
and the entry hole in the unit’s casing to avoid unwanted
noise and/or damage to the unit. A typical gas service
hookup is shown in Figure 9 (page 12).
Leak Check
After the gas piping to the unit is complete, all connections
must be tested for gas leaks. This includes pipe connections
at the main gas valve, emergency shutoff valve and other
gas connectors.
The soap and water solution can be applied on each
joint or union using a small paintbrush. If any bubbling is
observed, the connection is not sealed adequately and
must be retightened. Repeat the tightening and soap
check process until bubbling ceases.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• If pressure testing the gas supply lines at pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (14 inches WC), the unit must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
to prevent damage to the gas valve.
• If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2 psig
(14 inches WC), the unit must be isolated from the
gas supply line by closing the manual shut-off valve.
High Altitude Deration
High altitude application with this unit depends on the
installation altitude and the heating value of the gas. At
high altitudes, the heating value of natural gas is always
lower than the heating value at sea level.
All installations of this equipment must be made in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code or with local
jurisdiction codes. For installations at exactly 2,000 feet
in altitude or under, the installer does not need to derate
the heat exchanger performance. For any installation that
exceeds 2,000 feet, please see the following instructions
and example:
WARNING:
The reduction of input rating necessary for high
altitude installation may only be accomplished
with factory supplied orifices. Do not attempt to
drill out orifices in the field. Improperly drilled
orifices may cause fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury or death.
RISQUE D’INDENDIE OU D’EXPLOSION
Le non-respect des avertissements de sécurité
pourrait d’entraîner des blessures graves, la mort
ou des dommages matériels.
Ne jamais utiliser une flamme nue por
vérifier la présence des fuites de gaz. Pour la
vérification de tous les joints, utiliser plutôt une
solution savonneuse commerciale fabriquée
spécifiquement pur la détection des fuites de gaz.
Un incendie ou une explosion peut entraîner des
dommages matériels, des blessures ou la mort.
AVERTISSEMENT :
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for the detection of leaks to
check all connections. A fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
