Proper installation requires checking the 1" NPT connections and verifying gas pressure using a digital manometer to meet the manufacturer's specified 1
An external upstream regulator is typically only needed if the line pressure exceeds the 5 PSI maximum inlet rating
Most failures result from insulation dry-rot or vibration-induced chaffing
meaning it is engineered to open the electrical circuit at a 170°F temperature rise and automatically reset upon a 40°F drop (closing at 130°F)
