Fuel Conversion/Gas Connections
Fuel Consumption
NOTE: Required fuel pressure is 7–13 mm mercury
(3.5–7 inches water column) for natural gas and 19–22
mm mercury (10–12 inches water column) for liquid
propane vapor.

*** Values given are approximate
These are approximate values, use the appropriate spec sheet or owner's manual for specific values.
Verify that gas meter is capable of providing enough fuel flow to include household appliances and all other loads.
NOTE: The gas supply and pipe MUST be sized at 100% load BTU / Megajoule rating.
Always refer to the Owner's manual for the proper BTU, Megajoule and required gas pressures:
– Natural Gas:

BTU = ft
/h x 1000
Megajoules = m
– Liquid Propane Vapor:

BTU = ft
/h x 2500
Megajoules = m
DANGER
NOTE: Natural gas is lighter than air and tends to collect
in high areas. LP gas is heavier than air and tends to
settle in low areas.
NOTE: A minimum of one approved full flow manual
shut-off valve must be installed in the gaseous fuel
supply line. The valve must be easily accessible. Local
codes determine the proper location. The flex fuel line
should be plumbed parallel to the back of the generator.
NOTE: The gas supply and pipe MUST be sized at
100% Load BTU / Megajoule rating.
