    GAS VALVES/PIPING SIZES

    The gas valves and piping make up the gas train leading to the burner. There are different sizes and types of gas valves such as
    manual, combination, hydraulic, and modulating. The following chart summarizes which gas valves and what quantities are used in
    which units:

    An extra manual ball valve is shipped loose with every heater for field installation.

    VALVE TYPES
    Manual Ball Valve
    The manual ball valve, to begin with, is a simple on-off valve that is manually operated. Ball valves can be used to leak test
    gas trains and to shut the gas supply down to a unit. There is a manual gas valve installed on every heater between the last
    electronic valve and the burner. There is also a manual valve shipped loose with every heater for field installation.

    Combination Valve
    The combination valve is one valve body that houses redundant solenoid valves and has a pilot tap. The valve also serves as
    the main gas regulator. Combination valves are on-off electronic valves and are energized by the flame safety controller.
    This type of valve is useful for consolidating valves and conserving space in smaller heaters. Combination valves are used on
    the size 1-3 direct fired heater and all indirect fired heaters.

    Solenoid Valve
    Solenoid valves are used on heaters where the gas flow requirements are large. Solenoid valves are on-off electronic valves
    and are energized by the flame safety controller.

    Hydraulic Valve
    Hydraulic valves are fast closing on-off electronic valves. These valves are powered by the flame safety controller and are
    used when the proof-of-closure option is needed.

    Modulating Valve
    Modulating valves are variable flow valves that are electronically powered by the modulating system. These valves vary the
    gas flow to the burner to satisfy different temperature rise demands. “Low Fire” pressure adjustments are made within this
    valve and the main gas regulator is built into the MR212 modulating valve.

    GAS PIPING CONNECTION SIZE


    Unit Pipe Size Maximum Inlet Pressure
    Size 1 Direct Fired 3/4" ½ PSI
    Size 2 Direct Fired 1" ½ PSI
    Size 3 Direct Fired 1" ½ PSI
    Size 4 Direct Fired 1-1/4" 5 PSI
    Size 5 Direct Fired 1-1/2" 5 PSI
    Size 1 Indirect Fired 3/4" ½ PSI
    Size 2 Indirect Fired 1" ½ PSI
    Size 3 Indirect Fired 1" ½ PSI
    If inlet pressure exceeds values in table, a high gas pressure regulator is required.
