During a timed pressure drop test, what is the required nominal pressure to be maintained?

  1. 5 inches water column

  2. 8 inches water column

  3. 10 inches water column

  4. 12 inches water column

The correct answer is: 8 inches water column

In a timed pressure drop test for recreational vehicles, maintaining a nominal pressure of 8 inches of water column is essential for effectively assessing the integrity of the gas system. This pressure level allows technicians to simulate the conditions under which the appliance will operate, ensuring that the system can hold pressure within specified limits over the testing duration. A nominal pressure of 8 inches is often used as it provides a standard benchmark that balances safety and operational performance, helping to identify leaks or deficiencies in the system. Maintaining this pressure helps ensure that the RV's gas system is functioning properly and remains safe for use, as it allows for an accurate indication of any pressure drops that could indicate issues needing further investigation.
