GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION
Gas regulator pressure is preset at 5” Water Column (W.C.) for natural gas, and 10” W.C.
for propane gas. Minor adjustments may be required based on site specific gas pressure.
Install the regulator as close to the stockpot on the gas supply line as possible. Make
sure that the arrow on the underside of the regulator is oriented in the direction of gas
flow to the stockpot (Fig. 2) and the regulator is positioned with the vent plug and
adjustment screw upright (Fig. 3).

The minimum supply pressure (upstream of the regulator) should be 7-9” W.C. for natural
gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane gas. At no time should the hotplate be connected to
supply pressure greater than ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or 14” W.C.
