Gas Supply Connections
Perform the following steps to connect the gas supply lines to the MGC. See Section 2
for gas supply requirements. Mating hose barbs and connectors are supplied with the
system and are sized for 3/8 inch inside diameter hose. Do not change the inlet gas
supply fittings to quick-connect fittings. Using quick-connect fittings to connect
and disconnect pressurized hoses may cause damage to the system.
Note: When making hose connections, only tighten the brass fittings enough to
make gas seals. The fittings are subject to damage if over tightened.
