Newbie here, but have a problem. Doing some re-piping on a nautral gas fired boiler in a radiant heating system my dad installed 50 years ago. I am fortunate to have a gas well on the property that produces 20 psi at the well. Just inside the home is this old, old Sprague regulator 3/4" NPT fittings. I want to replace it with 1" version. I am running new 1 1/4" polyethelene from the well to the house.
1. Do I even need a pressure regulator with this low 20# pressure? There is plenty of volume. We never run out...yet.
2. Is this Sprague the one to use?
3. How do I set the pressures, with a psi gauge or manometer?
The boiler is 140,000 input; 112,000 output
40 gallon hot water heater
kitchen gas range
small space heater in one room
Thanks for any advice, Joe
