Remove the cap to access the screw for input
adjustment (Figure 13 Pressure Regulator). Turn
regulator-adjusting screw IN to increase pressure,
OUT to decrease pressure.
Replace the cap. Measure
the manifold pressure.
For Natural gas, best results are obtained with a
manifold pressure of 3.2" to 3.5"w.c. For units that have
been converted to LP (Propane) gases, a manifold
pressure of 10"w.c. is necessary. After proper
adjustment, turn OFF gas, replace manifold pressure tap
pipe plug and turn ON gas.
At higher altitudes and varying heating valves,
manifold pressure or orifice changes maybe
required. Consult Tables 7 and 8 for appropriate
values. Failure to follow this warning could lead to
a hazardous furnace operating condition and result
in serious bodily injury or loss of life.
Determining Furnace Input - Natural Gas ONLY:
NOTE:
Louvered access door of furnace must be in
place when checking gas input.
1. Turn OFF all other gas appliances (except for pilot
burners) served by the same gas meter.
2. With furnace operating in full heat cycle, note how
many seconds it takes for one full revolution of the
smallest dial on the meter. Typically, this will be a
1/2 - or - 1 - cubic foot test dial.
3. Using the number of seconds for one revolution and
the size of the meter dial, determine the cubic foot
per hour of gas flow by using the formula provided
below or Table 5.
Cubic Ft/Hr =
Number of Dial Revolutions x Cubic Foot/Revolution x 3600
Time (in seconds) Required for Number of Timed Revolutions

4. Calculate the furnace input using the following
formula:
BTUH = Cubic Ft/Hr x BTU/Cubic Foot
The local gas supplier should be able to provide the
heating value of the gas, in BTU/cubic foot. If a
specific value is not available, use 1000 BTU/cubic
foot for Natural gas or 2500 BTU/cubic foot for
Propane (LP).
Furnace input should be maintained within ± 2% of
the value on the rating plate or appropriate altitude
derate. Adjust manifold pressure or change main
orifices size if required.
5. Calculate the unit's actual input rate.
Example: If the heating value of the natural gas is 1015
Btu/cu. and it takes 60 seconds to burn 2 cu.
ft. of gas then:
Input = 1015 Btu/cu. ft. X 1 rev X 2 cu. ft./rev. X 3600
60 sec.
Input = 121,800 Btu/hr.
