High & Low Gas Pressure Switches
(Optional)

The optional low gas pressure switch connection
mounts upstream of the gas valve (on the inlet flange
to the gas valve) and is accessible through the remov-
able access panels on the rear of the heater to reset
the gas pressure switch, as necessary. It is used to
ensure that sufficient gas pressure is present for prop-
er valve/regulator performance. The low gas pressure
switch automatically shuts down the heater if gas sup-
ply drops below the factory setting of 3.0 in. WC for
natural gas or propane gas.

The optional high gas pressure switch connection
mounts down-stream of the gas valve. Special ports
are located on the backside of the gas valve and
accessible from the front of the heater (to reset the gas
pressure switch) or through the removable access
panels on the rear of the heater (to reset the gas pres-
sure switch), as necessary. If the gas pressure
regulator in the valve fails, the high gas pressure
switch automatically shuts down the burner.

Operation of either the High or Low Gas Pressure
Switch will turn on an LED inside the switch housing.
Push the top of the plastic switch housing as shown in
Fig. 41 to reset a tripped pressure switch. The LED
will go out when the switch is reset.
