Service Notes - Gas Pressure Adjustment

Manifold gas pressure is factory set and should not be adjusted in the field. If manifold gas
pressure differs greatly from the pressures in Table 2 consider the calibration of the
manometer being used - try a different manometer. Call the technical support phone number
on the water heater label for further assistance if pressures are considerably different.

FUEL TYPE

MINIMUM SUPPLY

†. Minimum supply gas pressures must be maintained under both load and no load conditions.

MAXIMUM SUPPLY

MANIFOLD

Natural Gas

3.5” W.C. (0.87 kPa)

14.0” W.C. (3.48 kPa)

0.00” to +0.05” W.C.

(0.00 to +0.012 kPa)

Propane Gas

8.0” W.C. (1.99 kPa)

14.0” W.C. (3.48 kPa)

0.00” to +0.05” W.C.

(0.00 to +0.012 kPa)

CHECKING GAS PRESSURES (CONT)

5 Open the supply gas shut off valve - restore

power - start a heating cycle.

6 The rise in manifold pressure and corresponding

drop in supply gas pressure confirms the water
heater’s gas valve is opening and gas is flowing
to the burner.

7 Record the supply and manifold gas pressures

with the water heater firing.

8 Supply gas pressure should not drop below

minimum given in Table 2 below.

9 Manifold gas pressure should be within the range

shown in Table 2 below.

10 Look through the burner view port (page 11)

burner flame should be blue.

11 Shut off power and gas supply - disconnect

manometers - close test port needle valves.

12 Restore power and gas supply. Check for gas
