Gas Pressure - All Models
Tables 2 and 3 show the appliances' gas
pressure requirements:
Test gauge connections are provided on the
front of the millivolt and electronic gas control
valve (identified IN for the inlet and OUT for
the manifold side). The control valves have a
3/8" (10mm) NPT thread inlet and outlet side
of the valve.
Propane tanks are at pressures that will cause
damage to valve components. Verify that the
tanks have step down regulators to reduce the
pressure to safe levels.
These appliances must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system (by closing their
individual manual shut-off valve) during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
These appliances and their individual
shut-off valves must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
These appliances must not be connected to a
chimneyorueservingaseparatesolidfuel
burning appliance.
Orifice Sizes - Sea Level to High Altitude
(All Models)
These appliances are tested and approved for
installation at elevations of 0-4500 feet (0-1372
meters) above sea level using the standard
burner orifice sizes (marked with an "*" in
Table
4)
. For elevations above 4500 feet, contact your
gas supplier or qualified service technician.
Deration - At higher elevations, the amount
of BTU fuel value delivered must be reduced
by either:
• Usinggasthathasbeenderatedbythegas
company.
• Changingtheburneroricetoasmallersize
as regulated by the local authorities having
jurisdiction and by the (USA) National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest
edition or, in Canada, the CAN/CSA-B149.1
codes - latest edition.
Install the appliance according to the regulations
of the local authorities having jurisdiction and,
in the USA, the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA
54 / ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or, in Canada,
the CAN/CSA-B149.1 - latest edition.
NOTE:
Flame appearance will diminish 4% per
thousand feet.
