Gas connections

ƽ WARNING

When re-tightening the set screw, be
sure to tighten securely to prevent gas
leaks.

Do not check for gas leaks with an open
flame -- use the bubble test. Failure to
use the bubble test or check for gas leaks
can cause severe personal injury, death,
or substantial property damage.

14. Turn on the gas supply at the manual gas valve.

15. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position.

16. Adjust the temperature set point on the control panel

of the SMART SYSTEM control module to the desired

water temperature so the appliance will call for heat.

17. Check burner performance by cycling the system while

you observe burner response. The burner should

ignite promptly. Flame pattern should be stable. Turn

system off and allow burner to cool, then cycle burner

again to ensure proper ignition and flame
characteristics.

Gas Pressure

The gas pressure must remain between 4 inches w.c. (natural),
8 inches w.c. (LP) minimum and 14 inches w.c. (natural and LP)
maximum during stand-by (static) mode and while in operating
(dynamic) mode. If an in-line regulator is used, it must be a
minimum of 10 feet from the Knight wall mount boiler. It is
very important that the gas line is properly purged by the gas
supplier or utility company. Failure to properly purge the lines
or improper line sizing, will result in ignition failure.

The problem is especially noticeable in NEW LP installations
and also in empty tank situations. This can also occur when
a utility company shuts off service to an area to provide
maintenance to their lines.

Gas valve replacement

The gas valve MUST NOT be replaced with a conventional gas
valve under any circumstances. As an additional safety feature,
this gas valve has a flanged connection to the venturi and blower.

DO NOT adjust gas valve outlet pressure.
The gas valve is factory-set for the correct
outlet pressure. This setting is suitable
for natural gas and propane, requiring
no field adjustment. Attempting to
alter the gas valve outlet pressure could
result in damage to the valve, causing
potential severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.

Failure to follow all precautions could
result in fire, explosion, or death!
