    Hello Vince and Ron, 	I, too, asked my local NG company about line
    pressure.  I was told that the distribution lines carry as much as
    37 pounds per square inch (psi), which is decreased by a regulator
    at the meter.  Residential service is decreased to 4 ounces, yes
    ounces.  That's much less than one psi.  The individual to whom I
    spoke, said that residential furnaces, stoves, etc. operate on that
    pressure.  Wonder why we are getting such varied answers? 	BTW, my
    NG/oxygen torch works just fine with that low pressure.  Judy in
    Kansas
