What is the normal manifold pressure for natural gas?

1"w.c.
2.5"w.c.
3.5"w.c.
4.5"w.c.

The correct answer is: 3.5"w.c.

The normal manifold pressure for natural gas is typically set at 3.5 inches of water column (w.c.). This pressure level is established to ensure that gas appliances operate efficiently and safely. The 3.5" w.c. pressure is standard for most residential gas appliances, allowing them to receive the right amount of gas for proper combustion, which is crucial for maximizing performance and minimizing the risk of incomplete combustion that could lead to dangerous byproducts such as carbon monoxide. Using this specified pressure helps maintain a balance between gas flow and appliance function, ensuring that each unit receives adequate pressure for optimal operation. Deviations from this standard pressure can lead to appliance malfunctions, inefficient fuel usage, or unsafe conditions. Thus, understanding and maintaining this manifold pressure is essential for gas fitters to ensure compliance with safety regulations and standards.
