Burner staging is arranged to allow a minimum firing rate of no less than 50% in order to 
minimize possibility of condensation in the venting. Staging of burners for models 1200 through 
2000 is as follows:

6.     GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING 

 
This boiler is intended to operate at inlet gas pressures not exceeding ½ PSI (14“ W.C.). If 
higher pressures are present, consult the gas company for correction. 
 
When pressure testing the gas supply piping at pressures above ½ PSI, the boiler and its 
individual gas shut-off valve must be disconnected from the supply piping. 
 
Provide a trap (drip leg) as close to the heater as possible. 
 
Install a good joint union and manual shut-off valve in the gas line near the heater to allow easy 
removal of the gas control assembly. 
 
Provide gas pressures at inlet to boiler manifold as follows: 
 

 

PROPANE

 

NATURAL GAS

 

Minimum  (inches W.C.)  

11 

Maximum (inches W.C.)  

11 

 
The gas supply line must be of adequate size to prevent undue pressure drop and must never 
be smaller than the size of the connection on the heater. Sizing based on Table 2 is 
recommended.
