the pressure-relief valve, the
system has a reversed connection.
Checking the Inlet
Gas Pressure and
Pressure Drop
This test is most effective when all gas
appliances on the supply line are operating.
1. Close the manual shut off valve at
the gas supply line inlet.
2. Open a hot water fixture. The unit
should turn on and the remaining
gas in the pipe line should purge
out. Close the water fixture
when the flame in the heater
extinguishes.
3. Turn power to the heater off by
unplugging it or closing the
external shutoff switch.
4. Remove the screw
from the pressure port
located on the gas inlet.
See Figure 19.
5. Connect a manometer
to the pressure port and
zero the manometer.
6. Slowly re-open the
manual gas valve.
Confirm that there are
no gas leaks.
7. Turn power to the water
heater on.
8. Open some of the hot
water fixtures that use
the highest flow rate
to turn on the unit.
Once the heater has
reached a steady firing
rate, press and hold the
“MAX” button on the
computer board. (See

1. Turn off cold water supply valve
to the water heater. If there are
pumps installed in the system for
recirculation, ensure that they are
turned off.
2. Turn on hot water at one fixture
in the structure. Make sure that
it is located at the highest point
possible. If possible, use the hot
side of a two-handle fixture. If you
must use a single-handle fixture,
make sure that it is open to the hot
side only.
•
After a brief time, the water
should drain completely.
•
If water continues to run, the
fixtures and plumbing system
need to be checked.
•
Cold water cross-connections
may be related to a recirculation
pump application, a defective
mixing valve, a bad check valve,
a missing check valve in the
application, or a cartridge in a
single-handle faucet that needs
to be replaced.
