Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoFrom Fig.40 (MI 7.4.1). At the meter: 19–23 mbar. Permissible pressure drop across system pipework ≤ 1 mbar. MI 7.4.1 text also says the working pressure at the inlet test point on the gas cock (Fig.41), at maximum rate, must be AT LEAST 17 mbar, which is lower than the 18–22 mbar Fig.40 shows at the gas cock. Tab.8 gives a nominal inlet pressure of 20 mbar (G20).

Check these figures against the MI for the appliance in front of you, matched by GC number and manual date. Combustion work needs a calibrated analyser and a Gas Safe registered engineer.
