ADJUSTMENT OF MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE &
INPUT RATE
Inlet and manifold gas pressure may be measured by connecting the
"U" tube manometer to the gas valve with a piece of tubing. Follow the
appropriate section in the instructions below. Refer to Figure 40 for a
drawing of the locations of the pressure ports on the gas valve.
Turn gas off at the ball valve or gas cock on gas supply line
before the gas valve. Find the pressure ports on the gas
valve marked Out P and In P.
1. The manifold pressure must be taken at the port marked OUT P.
2. The gas line pressure must be taken at the port marked IN P.
3. Using a 3/32" (2.4 mm) Allen wrench, loosen the set screw by turn-
ing it 1 turn counter clockwise. DO NOT REMOVE THE SET
SCREW FROM THE PRESSURE PORT.
Read the inlet gas pressure
Connect the positive side of the manometer to the IN P Tap on the gas
valve. Do not connect any tubing to the negative side of the manometer,
as it will reference atmospheric pressure. Refer to Figure 41 for connec-
tion details.
1. Turn gas and electrical supplies on and follow the operating instruc-
tions to place the unit back in operation.
Table 15: Inlet Gas Pressure Range

INLET GAS PRESSURE RANGE

Natural Gas
Minimum 4.5" w.c. (1.12 kPa)
Maximum 10.5" w.c. (2.61 kPa)
The inlet gas pressure operating range table specifies what the mini-
mum and maximum gas line pressures must be for the furnace to
operate safely. The gas line pressure MUST BE a minimum of:
• 7" w.c. (1.74 kPA) for Natural Gas
• 11" w.c. (2.74 kPA) for Propane (LP) Gas
in order to obtain the BTU input specified on the rating plate and/or
the nominal manifold pressure specified in these instructions and on
the rating plate.
2. Once the correct gas inlet pressure has been established, see
Table 15, turn the gas valve to OFF and turn the electrical supply
switch to OFF; then remove the flexible tubing from the gas valve
pressure tap and tighten the pressure tap plug using the 3/32" (2.4
mm) Allen wrench.
3. Turn the electrical and gas supplies back on, and with the burners
in operation, check for gas leakage around the gas valve pressure
port for leakage using an approved non-corrosive gas leak detec-
tion fluid, or other non-flammable leak detection methods.
Read the manifold gas pressure
Connect the positive side of the manometer to the adapter previously
installed in the OUT P Tap on the gas valve. Do not connect any tubing
to the negative side of the manometer, as it will reference atmospheric
pressure. Refer to Figure 41 for connection details.

The cap for the pressure regulator must be removed entirely to gain
access to the adjustment screw. Loosening or tightening the cap does
not adjust the flow of gas.
