There are two different ICG-30 units, one is used for
Propane (ICG-30LP) and one is used for Natural Gas (ICG-30NG).
Below are the differences between the two units. Make sure you have
selected the correct unit and are using the matching fuel supply.

ICG-30LP: Liquid Propane,otherwise
known as LP or Propane, is stored in
pressurized tanks of varying sizes.
The gas exiting the pressurized tank
must first be regulated to a very low
pressurebeforeitenterstheICG-30.
The standard for measuring the low
pressure is inches of water column
orInch/WC.TheICG-30LPoperates
at11”WC,orabout1/2PSI(2.8kPa).
The LP regulator provided with the
unitMUSTbeusedunlessitisverified
that the propane gas supply is already
regulatedto11”WC.TheprovidedLP
regulator is designed to connect di-
rectlytoportableLPtanks.Italsohas
a built-in safety function that limits
the flow of gas to a very low level in
the event of a large gas leak.

modeswillcreate9,000,18,000and

ICG-30NG: Natural Gas, otherwise
known as NG, is piped directly into
homesandbusinessesfromanexten-
sive pipeline system. The gas supply
