4.2 Measuring the Inlet Gas Pressure
WARNING
The boiler cannot function properly without sufficient inlet gas pressure. Measuring the inlet gas pressure should be performed by a
licensed professional only.
●
The inlet gas pressure must be maintained between 3.5 in and 10.5 in WC for natural gas and between 8.0 in and 13.5 in WC for liquefied
propane.
●
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of
1
/
2
psi (3.5 kPa).
●
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1
/
2
psi (3.5 kPa).
To measure the inlet gas pressure:
1. Shut off the manual gas valve on the gas supply line.
