6.3 Inlet Pressure

Measure at the inlet pressure tap located at the main gas cock. The inlet pressure must remain within the minimum

and maximum values while the unit is at rest and while the unit is operating at maximum firing rate.

6.4 Manifold Pressure

Measure at the pressure tap located downstream side of the manual valve closest to the burner. The rated manifold

pressure appears on the product data label located near the front of the appliance.

6.5 Gas Piping Size

Use the values in “Convert Fittings to Equivalent Straight Pipe” to add the equivalent straight pipe for each elbow or

tee to obtain the total distance from the meter.

*Multiplier for Propane: 1.57

**Multiplier for alternate pressure drops: 0.3" W.C. 0.77; 1.0" W.C. 1.41; 2.0" W.C. 2.00; and 4.0" W.C. 2.82.
