installation must conform with local
codes, or in their absence with
National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1
.

use in or on recreational vehicles and/ or boats.
This
appliance
is safety certified for use in the
United States only. Do not modify for use in any
other location. Modification will result in a safety
hazard.
Natural Gas Connections and Service Regulators
Above 1/2 psi.
Prior to 1998, all residual gas service regulators
were set with an outlet pressure of 7 inches water
column.
In the 1998 edition of NFPA54, the National Fuel
Gas Code, a change was made allowing serive
regulators of 2 and 5 psi.
With this change it was also required that an in
line regulator be connected between the service
regulator and the appliance regulator if the 2 or 5
psi system is used. This additional regulator is not
supplied with the product.
It is possible for a consumer, making the
connection themselves, or a plumber, not
checking, to tap into a 2 or 5 psi line. If a pressure
of 2 psi or greater is supplied to the appliance
regulator on certain
appliance
it will shut down
and not deliver any gas to the
appliance
. Other
concerns are the quick disconnect socket and
hose which are only rated to 1/2 psi.
Once the
appliance
has been over-
pressured, the regulator may or may not have
been damaged. The best practice is to replace
the regulator.
