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 38, "Gas Valve" 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 39, "Reading Gas Pressure" for connection details.

1.Turn gas and electrical supplies on and follow the operating instructions to place the unit back in operation.

The inlet gas pressure operating range table specifies what the minimum 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, "Inlet Gas Pressure Range", turn the gas valve to OFF and turn the electrical supply switch to OFF; then remove the flexi- ble tubing from the gas valve pressure tap and tighten the pres- sure 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 39, "Reading Gas Pressure" 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.

NOTE: The regulated outlet pressure has been calibrated at the factory. Additional pressure adjustment should not be necessary. If adjustment is necessary, set to the following specifications. After adjustment, check for gas leakage.

1.Refer to Figure 38, "Gas Valve" for location of pressure regulator adjustment cap and adjustment screws on main gas valve.

2.Turn gas and electrical supplies on and follow the operating instructions to place the unit back in operation.

3.Adjust manifold pressure by adjusting gas valve regulator screw for the appropriate gas per the following:

If gas valve regulator is turned in (clockwise), manifold pressure is increased. If screw is turned out (counterclockwise), manifold pres- sure will decrease.

4.After the manifold pressure has been adjusted, re-calculate the furnace input to make sure you have not exceeded the specified input on the rating plate. Refer to “CALCULATING THE FURNACE INPUT (NATURAL GAS)”.

5.Once the correct BTU (kW) input has been established, 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.

6.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.

TG9S*MP, GG9S*MP specifications

Johnson Controls has long been at the forefront of building efficiency solutions, and their TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP series exemplify this commitment. These two-stage, multi-position gas furnaces are designed for optimal comfort and performance in residential applications, and they come packed with a variety of features that enhance their efficiency and operational capabilities.

One of the standout features of the TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP furnaces is their efficient two-stage operation. This technology allows the unit to operate at a lower capacity most of the time, which translates into reduced energy consumption and costs. When the demand for heating increases, the furnace automatically shifts to a higher capacity, ensuring a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature. This flexibility not only enhances comfort but also extends the lifespan of the unit as it doesn't have to work harder than necessary.

Energy efficiency is a crucial characteristic of both models. With an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 96%, these furnaces convert a significant amount of the fuel they consume into usable heat. Such efficiency ratings not only help in reducing energy bills but also have a positive impact on the environment by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.

Both models feature advanced technology in their design, including a fully modulating gas valve and a variable-speed blower motor. The modulating valve adjusts the gas flow in response to the thermostat’s signals, allowing for precise temperature control and improved comfort. Meanwhile, the variable-speed blower motor enhances airflow while operating quietly, significantly improving overall indoor air quality by promoting even heat distribution throughout the home.

From a structural standpoint, the TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP are built with durable materials designed for longevity. Their compact design allows for flexible installation options, whether in a closet, attic, or basement. The furnaces also come equipped with a robust heat exchanger crafted from high-quality materials, which ensures both reliability and efficiency.

In conclusion, the Johnson Controls TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP furnaces provide homeowners with efficient, reliable, and comfortable heating solutions. With advanced features such as two-stage operation, impressive AFUE ratings, and modern technology integrations, these models stand out in the market as dependable options for both energy savings and year-round comfort. Whether you're a homeowner looking to upgrade your heating system or a contractor seeking high-quality products for your clients, these furnaces represent a smart choice.
