3.7.3 Pressure Check
The appliance is pre-set to give the correct heat inputs as listed in the technical details. No
further adjustment is necessary. Always check the inlet pressure and burner on hot and cold
pressure. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE PRESSURES ON THE VALVE THIS WILL VOID
YOUR WARRANTY
1. Turn off the gas valve on the appliance
2. Release the screw on the Inlet Pressure test point on the gas valve and connect a manometer
3. Check that the measured pressure is as the prescribed supply pressure
4. Perform the test when the appliance is burning on full (High Flame) and with only the pilot alight
5. If the pressure is low, check the gas supply pipes are to a correct sizing
6. If the pressure is too high (more than 5 mbar over) the appliance may be installed, but the gas supply
company should be contacted
7. Release the screw on the Burner Pressure test point on the gas valve and connect a manometer
8. Check that the measured pressure is as detailed in the Technical details
9. The measured value should be /- 5% of the described value. If this is not the case, please
contact the supplier.
Note: After checking the pressures and removing the manometers, the screws in the Pressure Test
points must be closed, and the system must be checked for gas-tightness.
Pressure Check
– It is important to carry out a
pressure check on the appliance. There are 2 test
points on the side of the valve. The first is the
Inlet Pressure
, the second is
Outlet/Burner
Pressure.
These screws need to be
“opened” (approx 1 turn
but not removed) before putting the tube of the
manometer on. Both these screws must be fully
tighten (“closed”) when the manometer is
removed. Shown on your picture as Inlet and
Outlet Pressure Tap.
When opening these test points the room must be well ventilated and no naked flames or sparks are to
be near the stove. You must fully leak test the valve after commissioning
