/hr capacity at 1 in. 

wc pressure drop on natural gas. They have been 
optimized for direct ignition applications and include 
a on/off switch and a pressure regulator.

• Valve capacities are shown in Table 1.
• Table 2 provides gas capacity conversion factors.
• For suffix letter designation, see Table 3.
