and CAN/CGA B149.1 in Canada.
Pressure requirements are:
Gas Pressure
Natural Gas
Propane
Minimum inlet pressure
5.5in. w.c.
11in. w.c.
Manifold pressure
3.5in. w.c.
10in. w.c.
n
The manifold outlet pressure is set from the factory to
the appropriate pressure but should be verified.
n
To check pressures, control valves have a provision to
