Your appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufcient size to provide the correct gas ow. The gas
line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1 and NFPA 54 (latest editions). In

W.C. (17.4 mbars, 1.74 kPa) and 10.0” W.C. (24.9 mbars, 2.49 kPa) natural gas or between 11.0” W.C. (27.4 mbars, 2.74 kPa) and
13.0” W.C. (32.4 mbars, 3.25 kPa) propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full demand. The
pressure at the gas valve must not exceed 1/2 PSI.
Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to operate is
