GAS PIPE PRESSURE
TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures
over 1/2 psig.
CONVERSION TO LOWER BTU RATING
THIS CONVERSION MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED GAS
FITTER IF IN DOUBT DO NOT DO THIS CONVERSION !!

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked
at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure, both
inlet and manifold pressures should
be checked using the valve pressure
ports on the valve.
1. Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.
2. Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure
tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/8"
wide at screwdriver.
3. Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.
4. Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position. Read manometer.
5. The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specied on the safety
label.
6. When nished reading manometer, turn
off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" at
