English term or phrase: LP control
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?
