Well, no gas leaks to report today, the propane heater pilot won’t light, but the gas is off. The answer is 65 degrees, is it really necessary to know this? I would think 60 or 65 is acceptable, no?

When I answered this a few days ago I had gone outside and checked
the manufacturers nomenclature and it said (and I quote) "DO NOT
OPERATE IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 60 DEGREES FARENHEIT"
But then what do they know...

Good ideal, but what if the temperature is between the two?
What would you do?

Seeing as our SOP’s state 60 and the practice questions state 65, is anyone finding definitive data to change the answer?

TREC SOP says 60 so that’s what us Texans are supposed to use.

The “national” standard says 65 degrees.
Many of the HVAC tech's I have spoken with say that it's unlikely to cause any problems operating the system even at much cooler temperatures as long as it's only for a few minutes.
Mind you, I live in CA , not Minnesota or some other godforsaken ice hole

Hi to all,
I just had a quick look at a few reference works I have on my desk and they all agree with 60 degrees, However the manufacturers instructions would always overrule these if they specified a higher temp.
Jeff, which national standard are you quoting ?
Regards
Gerry
