- Supply gas problem. Natural gas pressures 
 should be between 4 inches w.c. (1.0 kPa) 
 and 14 inches w.c. (3.5 kPa). LP gas 
 pressures should be between 8 inches w.c. 
 (2.0 kPa) and 14 inches w.c. (3.2 kPa).
 • Refer to Section 7 - Gas Connections of the Armor X2 
 Installation and Operation Manual for detailed 
 information concerning the gas supply.
- Gas/air mixture problem.
• Refer to the Gas Valve Adjustment Procedure on
