18. Hold the gas control valve with an adjustable wrench. Use a
pipe wrench to tighten the manifold clockwise ¹⁄₂ revolution
(180°), so the vertical axis of the gas control valve is
perpendicular (90°) to the burner orifices.
19. Flip the manifold so the gas valve is located on the opposite
end. Then install the manifold and gas valve to the burner
assembly, using the 4 screws removed earlier, making sure
the burner orifices seat in the burners.
20. Connect igniter wires and flame sense wire, then slide the
burner assembly into the burner box on the opposite side of
the furnace, making sure that the assembly engages onto the
alignment screws.
NOTE: Ensure the wires are not damaged during assembly or
pinched after assembly.
