Gas Information
B. Gas Pressures
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appli-
ance performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to
be made following NFPA54.
Fire Risk.
Explosion Hazard.
High pressure will damage valve.
• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
above 1/2 psig.
• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfi re condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
• Verify minimum pressures when other
household gas appliances are operating.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line
pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in the
table below. Minimum pressures must be met when other
household gas appliances are operating.

If the pressure is not suffi cient, ensure:
• The piping used is large enough.
• The supply regulator is adequately adjusted.
• That the total gas load for the residence does not
exceed the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly
to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply
gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact
the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper
pressure.
