GAS PIPE PRESSURE

TESTING

The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures
over 1/2 psig.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked
at the pressure test point.

Note: To properly check gas pressure, both

inlet and manifold pressures should
be checked using the valve pressure
ports on the valve.

1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF"

position.

2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure

tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/8"
wide fl at screwdriver.

pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"

position. Read manometer.

5) The pressure check should be carried out

with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specifi ed on the safety
label.

6) When fi nished reading manometer, turn

off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" fl at
