Gas Manifold Pressurem; Easurement And Djustment; A Djustment - Amana GDH8 Installation Instructions Manual

1. Turn OFF gas to furnace at the manual gas shutoff valve
external to the furnace.
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. See Honeywell gas valve
figure or White-Rodgers gas valve figure for location of
inlet pressure Tap.
NOTE: If measuring gas pressure at the drip leg or Honeywell
gas valve, a field-supplied hose barb fitting must be installed
prior to making the hose connection. If using the inlet pressure
Tap on the White-Rodgers gas valve, then use the 36G Valve
Pressure Check Kit, Goodman Part No. 0151K00000S.
3. Turn ON the gas 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 Inlet Gas Supply Pressure table.
INLET GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE
Natural Gas Minimum: 4.5" w.c.
Propane Gas Minimum: 11.0" w.c.
If supply pressure differs from table, make the necessary ad-
justments to pressure regulator, gas piping size, etc., and/or
consult with local gas utility.
5. Turn OFF gas to furnace at the manual shutoff valve and
disconnect manometer. Reinstall plug before turning on
gas to furnace.
6. Turn OFF any unnecessary gas appliances stated in
step 3.

ODELS USING INGLE
This valve is shipped from the factory with the regulator preset
(see control label).
Consult the appliance rating plate to ensure burner manifold
pressure is as specified. If another outlet pressure is required,
follow these steps.
1. Turn OFF gas to furnace at the manual gas shutoff valve
external to the furnace.
2. Turn OFF all electrical power to the system.
3. Outlet pressure tap connections:
a. Honeywell valve:
Remove the outlet pressure Tap plug. Install an 1/8"
NPT hose barb fitting into the outlet pressure tap.
b. White-Rodgers valve:
Back outlet pressure test screw (outlet pressure Tap)
out one turn (counterclockwise, not more than one
turn).
4. Attach a hose and manometer to the outlet pressure
barb fitting (Honeywell valve) or outlet pressure Tap (White-
Rodgers valve).
5. Turn ON the gas supply.
6. Turn ON power and close thermostat "R" and "W"
contacts to provide a call for heat.
7. Using a leak detection solution or soap suds, check for
leaks at outlet pressure Tap plug (Honeywell valve) or
screw (White-Rodgers valve). Bubbles forming indicate
a leak. SHUT OFF GAS AND REPAIR ALL LEAKS
IMMEDIATELY!
8. Measure the gas manifold pressure with burners firing.
Adjust manifold pressure using the Manifold Gas
Pressure table shown below.
