appropriate propane gas conversion kit. Taps for measuring
the gas supply pressure and manifold pressure are provided
on the valve.
NOTE: The gas supply pressure on White-Rodgers “G/J”
model gas valve, can be checked with a gas pressure test
kit (Part #0151K00000S) available through our authorized
distributors.
The gas valve has a manual ON/OFF control located on
the valve itself. This control may be set only to the “ON” or
“OFF” position. Refer to the Lighting Instructions Label or the
“Putting the Furnace Into Operation” section of this manual or
the installation instructions for use of this control during start
up and shut down periods.
