APPLY WRENCH FROM TOP OR BOTTOM OF GAS CONTROL TO EITHER SHADED AREA

1.

Turn the power “OFF” at the main disconnect switch.

2.

Turn gas valve control knob to “OFF” position.

3.

Remove the 1/8" hex plug located on the outlet side of the

 

gas valve and install a fitting suitable to connect to a

 

manometer or magnahelic gauge. See FIG. 3-3. Minimum

 

range of scale should be up to 5" w.c. for Natural gas

 

models and 10" w.c. for L.P. gas models.

4.

Remove the pressure regulator adjustment cap screw on

 

the gas valve. See FIG. 3-3 for location.

5.

Turn the power “ON” at the main disconnect switch.

6.

Turn gas valve control knob to “ON” position.

7.

Set the thermostat(s) to call for heat.

Figure 3-2_Wrench

8.For L.P. gas, consult your L.P. gas supplier for expert installation.

8.

Observe gas regulator pressure when all burners are firing.

 

See Table 3B, Manifold Pressure (page 18) for proper

 

regulator pressure settings.

9.

If adjustment is necessary, turn regulator adjustment screw

IMPORTANT

Upon completion of any piping connections to the gas system, leak test all gas connections with a soap solution while system is under pressure. Immediately repair any leaks found in the gas train or related components. Do Not operate an appliance with a leak in the gas train, valves or related piping.

clockwise to raise regulator gas pressure, counterclockwise

to lower gas pressure, to proper setting. NOTE: Adjustment

fitting is plastic and may require slightly greater turning

force than a metal fitting.

10. Turn the power “OFF” at the main disconnect switch.

NOTICE

Do not increase regulator pressure beyond

specified pressure setting.
