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 event
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.

EM302 (for LP model) and
EM303 (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 has the
“26Y” mark on the manifold
plate.
