NOTICE
It is recommended that a shutoff valve be located near the generator set for
emergency shut off or servicing the generator set. Follow applicable codes.
Until the generator set is connected, cap the fuel line stub-up at the generator set to
prevent dirt from entering and gas from discharging if the gas supply shutoff valve is
opened accidentally.
To determine the required capacity, refer to the Fuel Line Selection section.
Fuel Line Connections
WARNING
Fuel presents the hazard of fire or explosion that can result in severe
personal injury or death. Do not smoke or allow any flame, spark, pilot light
or other ignition sources near fuel or in the installation area. Read the
important safety precautions in this manual.
1. Refer to the Outline and System Drawings appendix for the location of the fuel
supply connection through the side of the generator set.
2. Install a flexible fuel hose, which must be used between the engine's fuel
system and fuel supply line to protect the fuel system from damage caused by
vibration, expansion and contraction. The fuel hose must be installed according
to all applicable codes and standards.
Natural Gas Fuel System
WARNING
Fuel leaks can lead to explosive accumulations of gas. Prevent gas leaks
and the accumulation of gaseous fuel in the event of a leak.
Requirements for a natural gas generator set are as follows:
TABLE 13. NATURAL GAS GENERATOR SET REQUIREMENTS
Component Description
Gas Pipeline quality
Fuel Supply Adequate fuel supply to operate correctly and run at full load
Shutoff Valve Manual
Fuel Pipe Size The length of the fuel supply pipe from the gas service entrance to the
generator set must be known to determine the correct fuel pipe size.
Refer to the charts in the Fuel Line Selection appendix.
Iron pipe must be a minimum of schedule 40 subject to the authority
having jurisdiction.
