Gas Supply Piping
Supply Pressure
These direct-red makeup air systems are designed to operate on a natural gas
supply pressure range of a minimum of 6" w.c. to a maximum of 28" w.c. If the natural
gas supply pressure is above the maximum allowed, it is necessary to install a eld-
supplied step-down gas regulator in the supply line. Order and install the appropriate
Gas Regulator Kit, Option CZ1 (1") or CZ2 (1-1/2"). Follow the instructions provided
with the kit. Measure the gas pressure between the step-down regulator and the unit.
