Function
1. The manifold distributes gas from the gas valves to the burners. The
manifold has two types of the nozzles: one type for gas-rich burners (16
nozzles) and the other for air-rich burners (15 nozzles)
2. There are 3 zones within the manifold, to ensure efficient combustion
operation.
Failure events
1. Dust deposit on the manifold.
2. Gas leakage from a failed manifold.
3. Ignition failure.
4. Imperfect combustion.
Effects on the water
heater if the manifold
fails
1. The burners cannot receive proper gas flow from the manifold, which can
cause poor combustion in the combustion chamber. In this case, the AFR
rod will detect an improper flame condition and computer will take safety
measures.
2. Gas leakage from the manifold.

Diagnostic
1. Visual inspection: Excessive dust deposit around the nozzles or cracks on
the manifold.
2. Check voltages and resistance: proper range of values shown below.

319143-169 (for LP model)
and 319143-165 (for NA
model) is an assembly of
the gas manifold with the
gas valve assembly. For
safety reasons, these
assemblies should be
installed in the unit as a
whole set.
The gas manifold for the LP
has the “27G” mark, and
the gas manifold for the NA
has the “46B” mark on the
manifold plate.
