Gas Pressure is very critical to the installation and operation of your fire features. If the pressure being supplied to our appliances is not correct the units will not operate correctly. If the pressure in the gas line is too high, it can cause damage to the unit, and if the pressure is too low it can cause small flames and nuisance drops outs. Today we will talk about gas pressure basics.
The pressure of a gas is the force that the gas exerts on the walls of its container, such as a gas line. We measure the gas line pressure with a monometer, which will read pressure as inches of water column (inch WC) or can be measure in millibars (MB). Most Residential gas deliveries will deliver gas to the meter at high pressure.
