The appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply line by closing its individual manual gas
shutoff valve (gas cock) during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system that is equal to or
exceeds pressures of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Inlet Pressure

MIN

MAX

Natural Gas: 5.0 WC (1.24 kPa) 7.0 WC (1.74 kPa)
Propane: 12.0 WC (2.98 kPa) 13.0 WC (3.23 kPa)

Manifold Pressure

MIN

MAX

Natural Gas: 1.2 WC (0.29 kPa) 3.8 WC (.95 kPa)
Propane: 2.9 WC (0.72 kPa) 11.0 WC (2.74 kPa)

ALWAYS TEST PRESSURE WITH VALVE CONTROL KNOB
SET ON HIGH.
Symptoms of incorrect gas pressure
include:
Insufficient gas pressure:
• Small pilot flame which can result in insufficient

millivolts.

• Little variation in flame picture between HI and

LO settings.

• Insufficient gas to support more than one appli-

ance causing nuisance outages or gas surges.

Excessive gas pressure:
• Permanent damage to valve causing complete

appliance shut down.

• Too large a pilot flame resulting in overheating of

the power generator and consequent shut down.

• Sooting due to impingement and/or incorrect fuel

to air mix.
