ISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER AND SHUT OFF GAS SUPPLY.
1. After turning off gas to furnace at the manual gas shutoff
valve external to the furnace, remove burner compart-
ment door to gain access to the gas valve.
2. Connect a calibrated water manometer (or appropriate
gas pressure gauge) at either the gas valve inlet pressure
tap or the gas piping drip leg as shown in the following
figures. Refer to Measuring Gas Pressure: Single Stage
Valves figure for single stage valve inlet pressure tap
connections.
NOTE: At either location, a hose fitting must be installed prior
to making the hose connection.
NOTE: Use apapter kit #0151K00000S to measure gas
pressure on White-Rodgers 36J22 gas valves.

3. Turn ON the gas and electrical power supply and operate
the furnace and all other gas consuming appliances on
the same gas supply line.
4. Measure furnace gas supply pressure with burners firing.
Supply pressure must be within the range specified in the
following table.
INLET GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE
Natural Gas Minimum: 4.5" w.c.
Propane Gas Minimum: 11.0" w.c.
If supply pressure differs from above, make necessary ad-
justments to pressure regulator, gas piping size, etc., and/
or consult with local gas utility.

5. Disconnect manometer after turning off gas at manual
shutoff valve. Reinstall plug before turning on gas to
furnace.
6. Turn OFF any unnecessary gas appliances started in
step 3.
7. Turn on gas to furnace and check for leaks. If leaks are
found, repair and then reinstall burner compartment door.
8. Turn on electrical power and verify proper unit operation.

RATING PLATE. NLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD BE MADE BY
ADJUSTING THE GAS VALVE PRESSURE REGULATOR.
NOTE: Use apapter kit #0151K00000S to measure gas
pressure on White-Rodgers 36J22 gas valves.
Only small variations in gas pressure should be made by
adjusting the gas valve pressure regulator. The manifold
pressure must be measured with the burners operating. To
measure and adjust the manifold pressure, use the following
procedure.
