D. Gas Pressures

Proper input pressures are required for optimum appli- ance performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made following NFPA54.

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Hazard.

High pressure will damage valve.

• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures above 1/2 psig.

•Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE pressure testing gas line at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

WARNING

Verify inlet pressures.

• High pressure may cause overfire condition.

• Low pressure may cause explosion.

•Verify minimum pressures when other household gas appliances are operating.

Install regulator upstream of valve if line pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.

Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in the table below. Minimum pressures must be met when other household gas appliances are operating.
