704.0 Bleed Lines for Diaphragm-Type Valves

Los Angeles Mechanical Code > 7 Combustion Air > 704.0 Bleed Lines for Diaphragm-Type Valves
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

704.1 General

Bleed lines shall comply with the following requirements:
  1. Diaphragm-type valves shall be equipped to convey bleed gas to the outdoors or into the combustion chamber adjacent to a continuous pilot.
  2. In the case of bleed lines leading outdoors, means shall be employed to prevent water from entering this piping and also to prevent blockage of vents by insects and foreign matter.
  3. Bleed lines shall not terminate in the appliance flue or exhaust system.
  4. In the case of bleed lines entering the combustion chamber, the bleed line shall be located so the bleed gas will be readily ignited by the pilot and the heat liberated thereby will not adversely affect the normal operation of the safety shutoff system. The terminus of the bleed line shall be securely held in a fixed position relative to the pilot. For manufactured gas, the need for a flame arrester in the bleed line piping shall be determined.
  5. Bleed lines from a diaphragm-type valve and vent lines from an appliance pressure regulator shall not be connected to a common manifold terminating in a combustion chamber. Bleed lines shall not terminate in positive-pressure-type combustion chambers. [NFPA 54:9.1.20]
