.

0–2000 (0-610)
2001–3000 (610-914)
3001–4000 (914-1219)
4001–5000 (1219-1524)
5001–5400 (1525-1646)
*. Derate multiplier factors are based on midpoint altitude for altitude range
Furnace gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at altitudes up to
2,000 ft. (610 M). Furnace input rate must be within +/-2 percent of
furnace rating plate input.
2. Determine the correct outlet gas pressure adjustment.
a. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed altitude) from
local gas supplier.
b. Obtain average yearly gas specific gravity from local gas
supplier.
c. Find closest natural gas heat value and specific gravity in
Table 16
through
Table
d. Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point of
intersection to find outlet pressure setting for proper operation.
3. Check Inlet Gas Pressure
The inlet gas pressure must be checked with the furnace operating. This
is necessary to make sure the inlet gas pressure does not fall below the
minimum pressure of 4.5 in. w.c.
a. Make sure the gas supply is turned off to the furnace and at the
electric switch on the gas valve
b. Loosen set screw on inlet tower pressure tap no more than one
full turn with a 3/32−in. hex wrench or remove the 1/8−in. NPT
plug from the inlet pressure tap on the gas valve.
c. Connect a manometer to the inlet pressure tap on gas valve.
d. Turn on furnace power supply.
e. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to ON position.
f. Turn furnace gas valve switch to ON position.
g. Jumper R and W thermostat connections at the furnace control
board.
h. When main burners ignite, confirm inlet gas pressure is between
4.5 in. w.c. (1125 Pa) and 13.6 in. w.c. (3388 Pa).
i. Remove jumper across thermostat connections to terminate call
for heat. Wait until the blower off delay is completed.
j. Turn furnace gas valve electric switch to OFF position.
k. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to OFF position.
l. Turn off furnace power supply.
m.Remove manometer from the inlet pressure tap of the gas valve.
n. Tighten set screw on inlet tower pressure tap with 3/32−in. hex
wrench, or if 1/8−in. NPT plug was removed, apply pipe dope
sparingly to end of plug and reinstall in the gas valve
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death,
and/or property damage.
Inlet pressure tap set screw must be tightened and 1/8-in. NPT pipe
plug must be installed to prevent gas leaks.
4. Adjust gas valve outlet pressure determined in Step 2 to obtain
correct input rate.
a. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to OFF.
b. Loosen set screw on outlet tower pressure tap no more than one
full turn with a 3/32 in. hex wrench, see
c. Connect a water column manometer or similar device to pressure
tap on the gas valve.
d. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.
e. Manually close blower door switch.
f. Set thermostat to call for heat.
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.

g. Remove regulator seal cap and turn regulator adjusting screw
counterclockwise (out) to decrease input rate of clockwise (in) to
increase input rate.
h. Install regulator seal cap.
*
i. Leave manometer or similar device connected and proceed to
next step.
NOTE: If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have been
redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of correct size.
Never redrill an orifice. A burr-free and properly sized orifice hole is
essential for proper flame characteristics.

5. Verify natural gas input rate by clocking meter.
NOTE: Gas valve regulator adjustment cap must be in place for proper
input to be clocked.
a. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots served by the meter.
b. Run furnace for 3 minutes in heating operation.
c. Measure time (in seconds) for gas meter to complete 1 revolution
and note reading. The 2 or 5 cubic feet dial provides a more
accurate measurement of gas flow.
d. Refer to
