Rheem 97MDV060 Series Installation Instructions Manual page 49

NOTE: 1.10 mm orifices provided in kit are used in all alti-
tudes. These orifices comply with the 2% de-rate require-
ments due to the natural de-rate related to lower barometric
pressure.
NOTE: Use a pipe compound resistant to the action of the liq-
uefied petroleum gases at all threaded pipe connections.
7. Reinstall the manifold assembly by reversing the re-
moval process.
8. Plug the wires into the gas valve.
9. Install the tapped gas nipple supplied with the kit into the
inlet of the gas valve. Be sure to apply pipe dope or
Teflon tape. After tightening the gas nipple, the tapped

hole in the nipple should be in the horizontal position.
10. Install the Inlet Pressure Switch into the tapped hole. Be
sure to apply pipe dope or Teflon tape. After tightening,
the terminals on the Inlet Pressure Switch should be fac-
ing down towards the blower shelf. See Figure 36.
11. Remove the connection in the white wire going to the
gas valve. Plug the ¼" female terminal from the gas
valve onto the terminal on the Inlet Pressure Switch.
Using the supplied jumper wire, connect the remaining
Switch. See Figure 37.

12. Reconnect the supply gas line to the furnace.
13. Place the conversion label adjacent to the A.G.A. rating
plate.
14. Turn on gas supply and electrical supply.
15. Check unit thoroughly for gas leaks – with soap and water
– not with a flame.
16. Follow lighting instructions to put furnace into operation.
17. Operate thermostat to check unit operation for ignition and
extinction characteristics.
