If the pilot flame is short as shown in Figure
20, check for low pressure to the pilot.
First, be sure that the gas supply inlet
pressure to the heater is adequate. Check
the line for proper size.
Second, check manifold pressure with a
manometer to be sure that the regulator is
not defective. See
“SPECIFICATIONS” on
page 13 for the model you are servicing.
Third, check the pilot assembly and pilot
line to be sure that a restriction, such as
dust or dirt is not present. Blow out the pilot
assembly from both directions to remove
any dirt. Replace the pilot assembly if nec-
essary.

3. Read the manometer water level both
above and below the zero (0) mark, then
add the readings to give the correct
manifold pressure.
1. Fill tube with water until you see the water
level off at zero (0) on both sides.
2. Connect rubber hose to the line to be
tested.
