Inlet Gas Pressure Range; Nominal Manifold Pressure - York PCG6B42 Installation Manual

ADJUSTMENT OF MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE &
INPUT RATE
Inlet and manifold gas pressure may be measured by connecting the
"U" tube manometer to the gas valve with a piece of tubing. Follow the
appropriate section in the instructions below. Refer to Figure 10 for the
locations of the pressure ports on the gas valve.
Turn gas off at the ball valve or gas cock on gas supply line
before the gas valve. Find the pressure ports on the gas
valve marked Out P and In P.
1. Take the manifold pressure at the port marked OUT P.
2. Take the gas line pressure at the port marked IN P.
3. Using a 3/32" (2.4 mm) hex head wrench, loosen the set screw by
turning it 1 turn counter clockwise. DO NOT REMOVE THE SET
SCREW FROM THE PRESSURE PORT.
Read the inlet gas pressure
Connect the positive side of the manometer to the port marked IN P on
the gas valve. Do not connect any tubing to the negative side of the
manometer to prevent atmospheric pressure from being referenced by
the manometer. Refer to Figure 11 for connection details.
1. Turn gas and electrical supplies on and follow the operating instruc-
tions to place the unit back in operation.

INLET GAS PRESSURE RANGE

Natural Gas
Minimum 4.5" w.c. (1.12 kPa)
Maximum 10.5" w.c. (2.61 kPa)
IMPORTANT
The inlet gas pressure operating range table specifies what the mini-
mum and maximum gas line pressures must be for the furnace to
operate safely. The gas line pressure MUST BE a minimum of:
• 7" w.c. (1.74 kPA) for Natural Gas
• 11" w.c. (2.74 kPA) for Propane (LP) Gas
in order to obtain the BTU input specified on the rating plate and/or
the nominal manifold pressure specified in these instructions and on
the rating plate.
2. Establish the correct gas inlet pressure in accordance with Table
15. Turn the gas valve to OFF, and turn the electrical supply switch
to OFF. Then remove the flexible tubing from the gas valve pres-
sure port, and tighten the pressure port plug using the 3/32" (2.4
mm) hex head wrench.
3. Turn the electrical and gas supplies back on. With the burners in
operation, check for gas leakage around the gas valve pressure
port. Use an approved non-corrosive gas leak detection fluid or
other non-flammable leak detection methods to accomplish the leak
check.
Read the manifold gas pressure
Connect the positive side of the manometer to the port marked OUT P
on the gas valve. Do not connect any tubing to the negative side of the
manometer to prevent atmospheric pressure from being referenced by
the manometer. Refer to Figures 10 and 11 for connection details.
IMPORTANT
The cap for the pressure regulator must be removed entirely to gain
access to the adjustment screw. Loosening or tightening the cap does
not adjust the flow of gas.
Johnson Controls Unitary Products
The regulated outlet pressure has been calibrated at the factory.
Additional pressure adjustment should not be necessary. If adjust-
ment is necessary, set to the following specifications. After adjust-
ment, check for gas leakage.
This gas valve has separate regulator adjustment screws for high fire
and low fire as shown in Figure 10. The procedure below is used to
adjust either the high fire manifold pressure or the low fire manifold
pressure.
Gas manifold pressure must be set on high fire before adjusting low
fire pressure.
