5.6.1 Connecting the Fuel Supply
The TEG has a 1/4 in. female NPT fuel inlet, i.e. connection to the TEG’s manual shutoff
valve.
Follow these steps to connect the fuel supply:
a)
Remove the protective cap or plugs.
b) Apply thread sealant to the fuel line
threads as per Figure 12.
Note: Thread sealant is recommended.
Sealant must be approved for use
with gaseous fuels. Tape is not recom-
mended.
c)
Connect the fuel line and test all joints
for leaks using a commercial leak
detector fluid such as Snoop®.
Caution:
The TEG and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures in excess of 3.5 kPa (0.5 psig).
The TEG must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
pressures less than 3.5 kPa (0.5 psig).
d)
Inspect the fuel lines and fittings to be sure they are free of foreign material.
e)
Purge fuel lines of all air.
WARNING
:
All fuel piping must be in accordance with local regulations.
5.6.2 Fuel Considerations
Fuel Types:
Fuel must be either natural gas or propane vapour . Check the TEG data plate
for the fuel type, see Figure 2. Do not use a different type of fuel than indicated.
Supply Pressure:
Make sure that fuel pressure is at least 100 kPa (15 psig) and will not
exceed 344 kPa (50 psig). If it is expected that the fuel supply pressure will vary greatly,
the use of an additional primary regulator is recommended. This will hold the input pressure
relatively constant.
DO NOT APPLY SEALANT ON
THE FIRST TWO THREADS
