5 At times you may not be able to smell an LP gas leak. One cause is odor fade, which is a loss of the chemical odorant that gives LP gas its distinctive smell. Another cause can be your physical condition, such as having a cold or diminishing sense of smell with age. For these reasons, the use of a propane gas detector is recommended. IF YOU EXPER[...]

6 DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SWITCH The differential pressure switch ensures that a suf ficient differential exists between the air pressure in the pre-mix chamber and the inlet of the burner for safe, combustion and proper low NO x emission.
