1/4 psi won't be creating any hammering

Is that all the pressure is? I thought it was like 5 psi.

Ha, the gas mixers I sell here at work operate at almost 150 psi incoming, with up to 4500 l/min of flow. I'm not used to this wimpy house stuff.

2psi coming out of the meter, then gets dropped to 1/4 psi for the appliances (there is a big regulator shortly after coming in the house). 1/4 psi = 7" of water to go with the above post.

Cool let me know how it goes. I may elect to have someone do it completely. Or maybe do the leg work and have him tie into the gas line etc.

Cool. Yeah, looks simple enough.

Those points are the online spots I'd feel comfortable touching myself. Don't want to cut and T in anywhere.

IIRC, the specs for input pressure on mine mine were 5-10.5" inches of water. I had to install a regulator and put together a diy manometer to set the pressure. The heater won't work right if the pressure is wrong.

The instructions ask for a shut off valve and I think I remember a regulator. I'll make a parts list based on their instructions before I do anything.
