(Furnace is shipped with No. 44 orifices. In this example, all main
burner orifices are the correct size and do not need to be changed to
obtain proper input rate.)
NOTE:
To convert gas manifold Table pressures to Pascals, multiply
the in. w.c. value by 249.1 Pa/in. w.c. (1 in. w.c. = 249.1 Pa).
Check Inlet Gas Pressure
The inlet gas pressure must be checked with the furnace operating in
maximum heat. This is necessary to make sure the inlet gas pressure
does not fall below the minimum pressure of 4.5 in. w.c.
1. Make sure the gas supply is turned off to the furnace and at the
electric switch on the gas valve.
2. Loosen set screw on inlet tower pressure tap no more than one full
turn with a 3/32-in. hex wrench or remove the 1/8-in. NPT plug
from the inlet pressure tap on the gas valve.
3. Connect a manometer to the inlet pressure tap on gas valve.
4. Turn on furnace power supply.
5. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to ON position.
6. Turn furnace gas valve switch to ON position.
7. Jumper R and W thermostat connections at the furnace control
board.
8. When main burners ignite, confirm inlet gas pressure is between 4.5
in. w.c. (1125 Pa) and 13.6 in. w.c. (3388 Pa).
9. Remove jumper across thermostat connections to terminate call for
heat. Wait until the blower off delay is completed.
10. Turn furnace gas valve electric switch to OFF position.
11. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to OFF position.
12. Turn off furnace power supply.
13. Remove manometer from the inlet pressure tap of the gas valve.
14. Tighten set screw on inlet tower pressure tap with 3/32-in. hex
wrench, or if 1/8-in. NPT plug was removed, apply pipe dope
sparingly to end of plug and re-install in the gas valve.
Adjust Manifold Pressure
NOTE:
There are two manifold pressure tables in these instructions.
USE
FOR THE LOW CAPACITY 26,000 BTUH
MODELS
. The low capacity model can be identified by the green label
affixed to the top of the gas valve. For all other models, see
.
1. Adjust manifold pressure to obtain proper gas input rate. See
.
a. Refer to the correct manifold pressure table for the appropriate
model.
b. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to OFF.
c. Loosen set screw on manifold tower pressure tap no more than
one full turn with a 3/32-in. hex wrench, or remove the 1/8 inch
NPT plug from the manifold pressure tap on the gas valve.
d. Connect a water column manometer or similar device to
manifold pressure tap.
e. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.
f. Manually close blower door switch.
g. Jumper R and W thermostat connections on control to start
furnace. See
h. Remove regulator adjustment cap from gas valve pressure
regulator and turn adjusting screw (3/16 or smaller flat-tipped
screwdriver) counterclockwise (out) to decrease input rate or
clockwise (in) to increase input rate. See
i. When correct input is obtained, replace cap that conceals gas
valve regulator adjustment screws. Main burner flame should be
clear blue, almost transparent See
.
j. Remove jumper R to W.

NOTE:
Contact your HVAC distributor or gas supplier for metric gas
meter Tables, if required.
2. Verify natural gas input rate by clocking meter.
a. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots served by the meter.
b. Jumper R to W.
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death,
and/or property damage.
Inlet pressure tap set screw must be tightened and 1/8-in. NPT pipe
plug must be installed to prevent gas leaks.
CAUTION
!
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace life.
The 26,000 BTUH model has a lower nominal manifold pressure than
other models. Do not adjust the natural gas manifold pressure above
1.8-in. W.C.
The 26,000 BTUH model can be identified by the green label affixed to
the solenoid of the gas valve.
Refer to the Adjustment section for setting the manifold pressure.
