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.
NOTE: At either location, a hose fitting must be installed prior
to making the hose connection.

NOTE: Follow this procedure to test the gas valve pressure
at 100% firing rate.
Only small variations in gas pressure should be made by

measure and adjust the manifold pressure, use the following
procedure.
1. After turning off gas to furnace at the manual gas shutoff
valve external to the furnace, remove burner compartment
door to gain access to the gas valve.
2. Connect a calibrated water manometer (or appropriate
gas pressure gauge) at the gas valve outlet pressure tap.
