Re: Gas Range - Oven heat/cycle issue

said by 26369924:


Hmmm.. OK... incoming pressure should be 2psi correct?

Typically gas pressure inside the house is 1/4 lb, (7 inches water column) with a maximum of 1/2 lb.

If for some strange reason you have delivery pressure inside your building that is designed over 1/2 lb, then each appliance is required to have a sub regulator at the appliance gas connection to limit the inlet pressure to a maximum of 1/2 lb.

This is not to be confused with the appliance pressure regulator that comes from the factory built-in to the stove.

That's kinda what I was thinking... internal gas pressure was measured in ounces per square inch, not punds. I seem to recall talking to one of the guys who replaced my meter/regulator a few years back and he said something about main line pressure being around 50 PSI and reduced at the regulator to just a couple of ounces.
