The manifold pressure shown on the rating label must be 1″ water column or higher over the minimum supply pressure. The water column shall not be higher than 14.0 inches at the highest supply pressure (34.9 Millibars).

Gas must be connected to the appliance via a metal flex line or solid metal pipe. Consult your local professional electrician or the local electric codes for adequate grounding if a metal gas line cannot be used.
