normal gas line pressure is only a couple psi.




If that!

Gas pressure is usually measured in "Inches of Water."

30' of water is about 15 psi. 1 psi is about 2' or 24" of water.

Hi,
Are you sure 1 psi = 2 feet of water column?



Close enuf.

An easy way to remember it is: "half a pound per foot..."
