16 -CHECKING GAS INPUT RATE TO BOILER
Adjust gas input to boiler by removing protective cap on
pressure regulator, and turning screw_clockwise _ to
increase input and counterclockwise _ ]b to decrease
input.
Manifold pressures are taken at outlet side of gas
valve,
To check for proper flow of natural gas to boiler, divide
input rate shown on rating plate by heating value of
gas obtained from local gas company, This determines
number of cubic feet of gas required per hour,
With all other gas appliances off, determine flow of gas
through meter for two minutes and multiply by 30 to
get hourly rate,
Make minor adjustments to gas input as described
above.
Change burner orifices if final manifold pressure
varies more than plus or minus 0.3 inches water
column from specified pressure.
Primary air adjustment is not necessary, therefore
air shutters are not furnished as standard
equipment.
Air shutters can be furnished on request where
required by local codes or conditions.
