c. Recheck all manifold connections for gas leaks in accordance with step 5.
7. Measure and adjust manifold (outlet) pressure:
⚠ WARNING ⚠
Manifold gas pressure must never exceed 3.5 IN WC for natural gas or 10 IN WC for propane.
Incorrect inlet pressure could cause excessive manifold gas pressure.
a. Ensure that inlet (supply) pressure is in accordance with
and determine correct manifold (outlet)
pressure (refer to
).

Or as stated on the unit rating plate.
b. Turn knob or switch on top of valve to OFF to prevent flow to gas valve.
NOTE: A manometer (fluid-filled gauge) is recommended rather than a spring-type gauge due to
the difficulty of maintaining the calibration of a spring-type gauge. Use a water column manometer
that is readable to the nearest tenth of an inch.
c. Connect manometer to 1/8-inch output pressure tap on valve (see
).
