Low Pressure Regulator
Inlet Pressure: 25-250PSIG
Outlet Pressure: 280mmH2O=3D (11"W.C.)
Flow Capacity(MAX): 119000(BTU/hr)

ater heater:
Max Inlet Gas Pressure: 13.0 =E2=80=9CW.C.
Min Inlet Gas Pressure: 8.0 =E2=80=9CW.C.
Recovery Rating: 206/Gallons/HR
Max Working Pressure: 150psi
Max Output: 180,000 BTU/HR
Max Input: 11,000 BTU/HR
Manifold Pressure: 3.9 =E2=80=9CW.C. (For Max Input)
Am I missing anything, or should I be able to hook the generator directly to=
the house supply without the regulator? For the record, I tried it once wi=
th the regulator attached and it barely ran and didn=E2=80=99t put out any a=
ppreciable power. I always meant to research this before I needed it, but l=
ike many of us, never got around to it until now.
Thanks,
Jim
