5. Disconnect manometer after turning off gas at manual
shutoff valve. Reinstall plug before turning on gas to fur-
nace.
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.

CAUTION
T
O PREVENT UNRELIABLE OPERATION OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, THE
GAS MANIFOLD PRESSURE MUST BE AS SPECIFIED ON THE UNIT

RATING PLATE. NLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD BE MADE BY
ADJUSTING THE GAS VALVE PRESSURE REGULATOR.
NOTE: Use adapter kit #0151K00000S to measure gas pres-
sure on White-Rodgers 36J22 gas valves.
Only small variations in gas pressure should be made by
adjusting the gas valve pressure regulator. The manifold pres-
sure must be measured with the burners operating. To mea-
sure 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 compart-
ment 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. Refer to Measuring Gas Pressure: Single Stage
Valves figure for single stage valve outlet pressure tap
connections.

3. Turn ON the gas and electrical power supply and oper-
ate the furnace.
4. Measure gas manifold pressure with burners firing. Ad-
just manifold pressure using the table below.
Manifold Gas Pressure
Natural Gas
Propane Gas
The final manifold pressure must not vary more than ± 0.3 "
w.c. from the above specified pressures. Any necessary
major changes in gas flow rate should be made by changing
the size of the burner orifice.
5. White-Rodgers 36J22 Valves:
a. Back outlet pressure test screw (inlet/outlet pressure
boss) out one turn (counterclockwise, not more than
one turn).
b. Attach a hose and manometer to the outlet pressure
outlet pressure boss.
c. Turn ON the gas supply.
d. Turn on power and close thermostat "R" and "W1"
contacts to provide a call for heat.
e. Measure the gas manifold pressure with burners fir-
ing. Adjust manifold pressure using the Manifold Gas
Pressure table shown below.
f. Remove regulator cover screw from the outlet pres-
sure regulator adjust tower and turn screw clockwise
to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease
pressure. Replace regulator cover screw.
i. Turn off all electrical power and gas supply to the sys-
tem.
j. Remove the manometer hose from the hose barb fit-
ting or outlet pressure boss.
k. Turn outlet pressure test screw in to seal pressure
port (clockwise, 7 in-lb minimum).
6. Honeywell VR8215 Valve:
a. Remove the outlet pressure boss plug. Install an 1/8"
NPT hose barb fitting into the outlet pressure tap.
b. Attach a hose and manometer to the outlet pressure
barb fitting.
c. Turn ON the gas supply.
d. Turn on power and close thermostat "R" and "W1"
contacts to provide a call for low stage heat.
e. Measure the gas manifold pressure with burners fir-
ing. Adjust manifold pressure using the Manifold Gas
Pressure table shown.
