Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoChecked at maximum rate (hot tap fully open) at the inlet pressure test point on the gas service cock. The MI says the gas cock can reduce the pressure further when measured at its test point, by an amount that depends on heat input (see the gas cock pressure drop graph in MI section 1.8). Minimum meter outlet: 19 mbar. The MI also says the boiler can give full output at inlet pressures as low as 14 mbar.

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.
