Gas Supply Pressure Measurement
A threaded plug on the inlet side of the gas valve provides
access to the supply pressure tap. Remove the threaded
plug, install a field−provided barbed fitting and connect a
manometer to measure supply pressure. Replace the
threaded plug after measurements have been taken.
Manifold Pressure Measurement
To correctly measure manifold pressure, the differential
pressure between the positive gas manifold and the nega-
tive burner box must be considered. Use pressure test
adapter kit (available as Lennox part 10L34) to assist in
measurement.

1 − Remove the threaded plug from the outlet side of the
gas valve and install a field−provided barbed fitting.
Connect test gauge +" connection to barbed fitting to
measure manifold pressure.
2 − Tee into the gas valve regulator vent hose and connect
test gauge −" connection.
3 − Start unit and allow 5 minutes for unit to reach steady
state.
4 − While waiting for the unit to stabilize, notice the flame.
Flame should be stable and should not lift from burner.
Natural gas should burn blue.
5 − After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to value given in table
11.
NOTE − Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an
accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to remove
barbed fitting and replace threaded plug.
IMPORTANT
The White Rodgers 36G gas valve (figure 55) is
equipped with pressure posts for measuring supply
and manifold pressures. The posts provide built−in
hose connections and have an integral 3/32" Allen−
head screw. Rotate the screw counterclockwise one
full turn to permit pressure measurement. Reseat the
screw (rotate one full turn clockwise) after measure-
ments have been taken to prevent gas leakage.
