ATTENTION

■

The following explains a typical procedure to be followed

in checking gas pressures.

■

The gas pressures will vary depending upon fuel type.

■

Consult the dataplate on the heater or page 4 in this

manual for specific pressures to be used in conjunction

with this procedure.

■

Gas pressure measured at the inlet to the gas valve is

Inlet Pressure and gas pressure measured at the outlet

of the gas valve is Burner Manifold Pressure.

A.  Preparation

1. Obtain two pressure gauges capable of reading up to

35 In.W.C./8.7 kPa.

2. Disconnect the heater from the electrical supply and

close the fuel supply valve to the heater inlet.

3. Open the burner access panel.

4. Brush or blow off any dust and dirt on or in the vicinity

of the gas control valve.

B.  Gauge Installation

1. Locate the inlet and outlet pressure taps.  See Fig.

26.  Remove the pressure tap plug using a 3/16 in.

allen key.

FIG. 26

2. Securely connect a pressure gauge to each pressure

tap.

3. Open the fuel supply valves to the heater and

reconnect the heater electrical supply.

4. Start the heater

C.  Reading Pressures

1. With the heater operating, the pressure gauges

should read the pressures specified on the dataplate.

2. Do the readings at the inlet and outlet pressure

gauges agree with that specified on the dataplate?

If so, then no further checking or adjustment is

required.  Proceed to section D.

3. If the inlet pressures do not agree with that specified

on the dataplate, then the regulator controlling gas

pressure to the heater requires adjustment.

4. If the inlet pressures are correct and the burner

manifold pressure does not agree with that specifed

on the dataplate, then the gas control valve’s internal

pressure regulator requires adjustment.  See Fig. 27

for regulator location.

FIG. 27

D.  Completion

1. Once the proper inlet and burner manifold pressures

have been confirmed and/or properly set, close the

fuel supply valve to the heater and allow the heater to

burn off any gas remaining in the gas supply line.

2. Disconnect the heater from its electrical supply.

3. Remove the gauges and connecting hoses.

4. Install pressure tap plugs and tighten securely.

Check for gas leaks.

WARNING

■

Do not disassemble the gas control valve.

■

Do not attempt to replace any components of the gas

control valve.

■

The gas control valve must be replaced if any physical

damage occurs to the control valve assembly.

■

Failure to follow this warning will result in fire or

explosions, leading to injury or death to humans, and

property damage.
