Installer’s Information Manual 

SECTION 11.  CHECKS BEFORE 
STARTING FURNACE 

Before starting furnace for the first time, be sure you can 
answer "Yes" to each of these questions: 

1.  Is furnace properly equipped to operate with available 

fuel? 

2.  Is furnace level? 

3.  Have you cleared away all loose constructi on and 

insulation materials? 

4.  Is furnace installed with proper clearances? 

5.  Does fu rnace have sufficient combustion and 

ventilation air? 

6.  Is the vent system sloped toward the fu rnace at least 

1/4 inch per foot? 

7.  Have you checked the vent system for leaks? 

8.  Did you completely check gas pipe and controls for gas 

leaks? 

9.  Does electrical wiring follow current National Electrical 

Code ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code CSA 
C22.1 as well as local codes? 

10.  Is furnace electrically grounded? 

11.  Is room thermostat properly installed and heat 

anticipator set correctly? 

12.  Is duct system correctly sized and sealed? 

13.  Are proper air filter cabinets installed? 

14.  Are air filters in place and correctly sized? 

SECTION 12.  GAS SUPPLY 
PRESSURE AND PILOT 
ADJUSTMENT  

You will need a 0 to 15 inch water m anometer with 0.1 inch 
resolution and a 1/8" NPT manual shut-off valve to measure 
actual gas pressure. 

CHECKING GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE 

1.  Turn off gas at equipment shut-off valve in gas supply 

line just ahead of fu rnace. 

2.  Remove three screws holding burner access panel in 

place.  Remove burner access panel.  

3.  Remove inlet pressure plug from gas control.  See 

Figure 13. 

4.  Install 1/8" NPT manual shut-off valve in hole vacated 

by plug.  Make sure valve is in off position. 

5.  Attach manometer to 1/8" NPT manual shut-off valve 

just installed. 

6.  Slowly open equipment shut-off valve in gas supply line 

just ahead of fu rnace. 

7.  Slowly open 1/8" NPT manual shut-off valve leading to 

manometer. 

8.  Turn on all gas appliances attached to gas supply line. 

9.  With furnace operating, read gas supply pressure on 

manometer. 

??

Natural gas supply pressure must be between 5 
and 7 inches W.C. 

??

Propane gas (LP) supply pressure must be 
between 11 and 13 inches W.C.  

10.  If gas supply pressure is not within these limits, call gas 

supplier.  Tu rn off all gas appliances attached to gas 
supply line. 

11.  Shut off furnace. 

12.  Turn off gas at equipment shut-off valve in gas supply 

line just ahead of fu rnace.  Remove shut-off valve from 
gas -control inlet pressure tap.  Install pressure tap 
plug.  Turn on gas. 

13.  Replace burner access panel using three screws 

removed in step 2. 

PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT 

Before adjusting pilot flame, confirm that gas supply 
pressure is correct, as explained above. 

NOTE:  Pilot flame adjustment was checked at the factory 
and should not require adjustment.  However; pilot 
adjustment is possible if necessary.  

1.  Remove three screws holding burner access panel in 

place.  Remove burner access panel.  

2.  Start furnace following "Operating Instructions" on front 

door. 

3.  Pilot flame should cover 1/2 inch of tip of flame sensor 

as shown in Figure 19. 

4.  If you need to adjust pilot flame, remove pilot-

adjustment cover screw on gas control.  Save cover 
screw for re-installation.  Tu rn inner adjustment screw 
clockwise to decrease pilot flame; counter-clockwise to 
increase p ilot flame.  Install cover screw and tighten to 
torque of 5 inch-pounds to prevent gas leakage. 

 

Figure 19.  Pilot Flame Adjustment. 

5.  Check pilot-adjustment cover screw and gas -control 

inlet-pressure-tap plug for gas leaks.  Use a 
commercial soap solution made for leak detection. 

6.  Replace burner access panel using three screws 

removed in step 1.
