The outlet manifold test gauge connection is provided on the valve stem
(see Figure 1A)
. The inlet line gas pressure
test point is shown in
Figure 1B
. The control valves have a 3/8” (10 mm) NPT thread inlet and outlet side of the
valve.
Propane tanks are at pressures that will cause damage to valve
components. Verify that the tanks have step down regulators to
reduce the pressure to safe levels.
Some parts have been removed for clarity
1/8” Inlet line gas pressure ‘test point’ plug (in control compartment)
Testing Inlet Line Gas Pressure (Qualified Technicians
Only):
1. Turn off gas shutoff valve and electrical.
2. Remove 1/8” plug (shown in diagram to the right).
3. Install an 1/8” nipple in place of plug.
4. Connect manometer to nipple, using an 1/8” NPT air
hose nipple/fitting.
5. Turn on shutoff valve and check for proper inlet gas
pressure.
6. Reverse steps 1-5.
