■
The following is a typical procedure to be followed in
checking gas pressures.
■
Consult the dataplate on the heater or page 4 in this
manual for specific pressures. The gas pressures will
vary depending upon fuel type.
■
Gas pressure measured at the inlet to the gas valve is
Inlet Pressure and gas pressure measured at the outlet
of the gas valve is Burner Manifold Pressure.
