Example:
Low flow manifold pressure is 5.4" wc on
CG365T/S. Maximum flow manifold pressure is 5.2" wc.
Pressure test is good. Pressure drop was .2" wc, and low flow
was 5.4" wc. Unit is not experiencing a gas pressure issue.
Example:
Low flow pressure is 10" wc on CG304P/S-LP
after the gas company raised the supply pressure. Maximum
flow pressure is 9.5" wc. Pressure drop is .5" wc. Unit fails
pressure test.
Common Reasons for Pressure Issues
Most often, an excessive drop in pressure between low flow
and maximum flow is caused by insufficient volume of gas.
Ensure the following items are to specification:
▪
If a flex-line is installed, it must be at least
1
/
2
" internal
diameter (ID) and no longer than 3 feet long. Many times,
the line is
1
/
2
" OD.
▪
Shut-off valve should be
3
/
4
". Most of the
1
/
2
" shut-off ball
valves are
3
/
8
" through the ball.
▪
Ensure the supply pressure stays at or above the minimum
supply pressure at full load. Full load is when all gas
appliances in the home are on including the cooktop.
▪
Supply line to the unit is not
3
/
4
".
Note: If the customer has multiple issues, correct the flex-line
and shut-off first before requesting that the customer replace
the gas line.
