Measuring gas pressure

TWH-G2-03

 | 2400E, 2400EO, 250SX, 250SXO, 635ES, 635ESO

Introduction

  In order to meet design capacities of this unit, the gas supply 

must meet the design requirements.

   It is important to size the gas line to meet the requirements of 

ALL gas appliances. Please consult the National Fuel Gas Code 
NFPA 54, or a locally licensed gas technician if you are unsure of 
the gas line size.

   While testing for adequate gas pressure, all gas appliances must 

be operated at full capacity.

Tools needed:

 Manometer
  Philips head screw driver
 Small 

fl

 at head screw driver

Connecting Manometer

1.   Shut off gas supply with installer supplied shut off valve.
2.   Remove front cover and locate inlet gas pressure measuring tap 

on gas valve.

Gas pressure measuring tap (left tapping)

3.   Loosen screw inside the tap with a small 

fl

 at head screw driver 

(do not remove) and connect manometer tube on test tap (if 
manometer 

fi

 tting goes inside the tap, remove screw.)

Static Pressure Test

1.   Turn gas supply back on.
2.   Operate all other gas appliances on same gas piping system at 

maximum output.

3.   Gas pressures lower than 5” W.C. for Natural Gas or 11” W.C. for 

Liquid Propane will result in insuf

fi

 cient degree rise to the hot 

water being used and must be corrected.

Operating Pressure Test

NOTE: Reset any error codes with reset button 

fi

 rst.

1.   Put ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.
2.   Press and hold the “Program” (M) button and turn ON/OFF 

switch to ON position.

3.   As soon as ‘188’ is displayed, release “Program” button and the 

display should read ‘P2’.

Program mode

4.   Press the ‘+’ button, until P1 appears.
5.   Turn on a high volume of hot water 

fl

 ow (at least 6 gpm) and the 

heater will ignite.

6.   Gas pressures lower than 5” W.C. for Natural Gas or 11” W.C. for 

Liquid Propane will result in insuf

fi

 cient degree rise to the hot 

water being used and must be corrected.

7.   Remove manometer from measuring tap and tighten screw
