GAS REQUIREMENTS:
NOTE:
All Wolf gas appliances are manufactured to
work with natural gas or LP gas (Liquid Propane gas).
Natural Gas Manifold Pressure
Standard natural gas orifices on the appliance are set
for 5” WC (Water Column Pressure).
Liquid Propane Manifold Pressure
The standard propane gas orifices on the appliance are
set for 10” WC (Water Column Pressure).
Gas Supply Line Size
•
1/2 inch
Gas Supply Pressure
•
Maximum line pressure for natural gas and LP is
14” WC; 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
•
Minimum line pressure for natural gas is 7” WC.
•
Minimum line pressure for LP gas is 11” WC.
Gas Shut-off Valve
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
shut-off valve. This valve should be located in accor-
dance to all national, local codes and ordinances (See
Figure 2-2).
NEVER USE OPEN FLAMES TO CHECK FOR GAS
LEAKS. ONLY USE A LEAK TESTING SOLUTION
OF SOAPY WATER OR AN ELECTRONIC LEAK
DETECTOR. DO NOT USE LIQUID NEAR VALVE
STEMS.
The maximum gas supply pressure to the regulator
should never exceed 14” WC (Water Column
Pressure); 1/2 psi (3.5kPa)
.

Gas Pressure Regulator
To control and maintain a uniform gas pressure in the-
gas manifold, Wolf gas appliances must be connected
to the gas supply line through a pressure regulator.
The burner orifices are sized for the pressure delivered
by the regulator. Never attempt to operate a Wolf gas
appliance without the use of the proper pressure regu-
lator.
