English term

LP control

English to French Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
This sentence is extracted from a maintenance manual for water heaters.

"Feedline nut for natural gas control uses right hand threads; LP control uses left hand threads."

In another document from the same client, one finds the term "LP gas control".

Anyone would know what LP is for here?

attention, comme vous pouvez le vérifier sur Google, GPL seul renvoie presque toujours au GPL carburant, pour les voitures roulant au gaz.
cf https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_carburant

"Propane en citerne gaz GPL ou compteur de gaz liquéfié
Informations sur le prix du gaz propane liquéfié en citerne. Comparateur des tarifs et barèmes des principaux distributeurs de GPL Antargaz, Butagaz, Finagaz (Ex Totalgaz), Primagaz (ex Actigaz), Sogasud (ex Repsol), Vitogaz pour les particuliers "

basse pression

Il semblerait que "LP" signifie "Low Pressure", donc "basse pression". Est-ce que ça irait dans votre contexte ?
