authorized conversion kit
MUST be used.
6.1.2 Valve Outlet
or Orifice Pressure
Setting
Measuring valve outlet gas pressure cannot be done until the heater is in operation. It
is included in the steps of the “Check-Test-Start” procedure in Paragraph 9. The follow-
ing warnings and instructions apply.
WARNING
Valve outlet gas pressure must never exceed 3.5” w.c. for natural
gas and 10” w.c. for propane gas.
For Natural Gas: When the heater leaves the factory, the combination gas valve is set
so that the valve outlet gas pressure for a single-stage valve or high fire of a two-stage
valve is regulated to 3.5” w.c. Low fire on a two-stage valve is set to 1.8” w.c. Inlet sup-
ply pressure to the valve for natural gas must be a minimum of 5” w.c. or as noted on
the rating plate and a maximum of 14” w.c.
For Propane Gas: When the heater leaves the factory, the combination gas valve is
set so that the valve outlet gas pressure for a single-stage valve or high fire of a two-
stage valve is regulated to 10” w.c. Low fire on a two-stage valve is set to 5.0” w.c.
Inlet supply pressure to the valve for propane gas must be a minimum of 11” w.c. and
a maximum of 14” w.c.
Before attempting to measure or adjust valve outlet gas pressure, the inlet supply
pressure must be within the specified range both when the heater is in operation and
