2. With the manual valve positioned to prevent flow to the main
burner, connect a manometer to the 1/8” pipe outlet pressure
tap in the valve. Use a water column manometer that is
readable to the nearest tenth of an inch.
3. Remove the cap from the pressure adjusting screw
and adjust the valve outlet pressure to the pressure
setting selected from the table. Cycle the main burner once
or twice to properly seat the adjustment spring in the valve.
Re-check the pressure. If necessary, re-adjust the pressure.
When the pressure is correct, remove the manometer and
replace the cap. Check for leaks at the pressure tap fitting.
4. With the heater operating determine that the inlet pressure
to the heater for natural gas is between 5 and 13.5 inches
w.c., and for propane between 10 and 13.5 inches w.c. Take
this reading as close as possible to the heater (heaters are
equipped with gas valves that have an inlet pressure tap.) If
the inlet is not within the specified range, the inlet pressure
must be corrected and Steps 3 and 4 repeated.
5. Find the Valve Outlet Pressure Adjustment label in the plastic
bag that contained these instructions. Using a permanent
marker, fill in the pressure setting. Adhere the label on the
heater near the gas valve so that it is conspicuous to someone
serving the valve.
