rating plate by heating value of gas obtained from
local gas company. This will determine number of
cubic feet of gas required per hour. With all other

hourly rate. Make minor adjustments to gas input as
described above.
Burner orifi ces should be changed if fi nal manifold
pressure varies more than plus or minus 0.3 inches
water column from specifi ed pressure.
