manual abstract
If a thimble is not used, all combustible material must be cut away to provide a 6 inch clearance. Any material used to close the opening must be noncombustible. Heater Parts from ACF Greenhouses INSTALLATION Horizontal Two Pipe Venting 1. When horizontal vents pass through a combustible wall (up to 8 inches thick), the vent passage must be constructed and insulated as shown in Figure 10. 2. The termination of horizontally vented system must extend 12 inches beyond the exterior surface of an exterior wall. 3. The combustion air pipe must be a minimum of 16 inches below the vent pipe, and 24 inches from the exterior wall. 4. Support the vent and combustion air pipe as shown in Figure 10. Piping 1. Installation of piping must be in accordance with local codes, and ANSI Z223.1, “National Fuel Gas Code,” or CAN/CGA-B149 in Canada. 2. Piping to units should conform with local and national requirements for type and volume and gas handled, and pressure drop allowed in the line. Refer to Table 5, to determine the cubic feet per hour (cfh) for the type of gas and size of unit to be installed. Using this cfh value and the length of pipe necessary, determine the pipe diameter from Table 2.Where several units are served by the same main, the total capacity, cfh, and length of main must be considered. Avoid pipe sizes smaller than 1/2". Table 2 allows for the usual number of fittings with a 0.3;W.C. pressure drop.Where the gas supplied has a specific gravity other than 0.60, apply the multiplying factor as given in Table 3. 3. After threading and reaming the ends, inspect piping and remove loose dirt and chips. 4. Support piping so that no strains are imposed on unit or controls. 5. Use two wrenches when connecting piping to unit controls.

(1/2 psi). When leak testing the gas supply piping system, the appliance and its combination gas control must be isolated during any pressure testing in excess of 14" W.C. (1/2 psi). The appliance should be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its field installed manual shut-off valve. Heater Parts from ACF Greenhouses INSTALLATION 8 6. Provide a drip pocket before each unit and in the line where low spots cannot be avoided. (See Figure 7). 7. Take-off to unit should come fro top or side of main to avoid trapping condensate. 8. Piping, subject to wide temperature variations, should be insulated. 9. Pitch piping up toward unit at least 1/4" per 15' of horizontal run. 10. Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gases. 11. Purge air before lighting unit by disconnecting pilot tubing at combination gas control. In no case should line be purged into heat exchanger. 12. After installation, check system for gas leaks, using a soap solution. 13. Install a ground joint union and a manual shut off valve immediately upstream of the unit including a 1/8" NPT plugged tapping accessible for test gage connection. (See Figure 7). 14. Allow at least 5 feet of piping between any high pressure regulator and unit control string. 15. When Pressure/Leak testing, pressures above 14'' W.C. (1/2 psi), close the field installed shut-off valve, disconnect the appliance and its combination gas control from the gas supply line, and plug the supply line before testing.When testing pressures 14" W.C.
