SETTING GAS PRESSURE
The maximum gas supply pressure to the furnace
must not exceed 10.5" w.c. natural gas, or 13" w.c. LP
gas.
The minimum supply gas pressure to the gas valve
should be 5
w.c. natural gas or 11
w.c. LP gas. A properly
calibrated manometer is required for accurate gas pres-
sure measurements.
SUPPLY GAS PRESSURE
MEASUREMENT
An inlet pressure tap is on the input side of the gas valve.
1. With gas shut off to the furnace at the manual gas
valve outside the unit, remove the inlet pressure tap
plug.
2. Connect a manometer to the pressure tap.
3. Turn on the gas supply and operate the furnace and all
other gas-fired units on the same gas line as the fur-
nace.
4. Note or adjust the line gas pressure to give:
A. 5
- 10.5
w.c. for natural gas.
B. 11
- 13
w.c. for LP gas.
5. Shut off the gas at the manual gas valve and remove
the manometer and hose.
6. Replace the pressure tap plug before turning on the
gas.
7. Turn on the gas supply and check for gas leaks using
an approved leak detector. Do NOT use a flame of any
kind to check for leaks. Repair any leaks and repeat.
If the supply gas line pressure is above these ranges, in-
stall an in-line gas regulator to the furnace for natural gas
units. With LP gas, have the LP supplier reduce the line
pressure at the regulator.
If supply gas line pressure is below these ranges, either re-
move any restrictions in the gas supply piping or enlarge
the gas pipe. See Tables 12 and 13. With LP gas, have the
LP supplier adjust the line pressure at the regulator.
MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE
MEASUREMENT
Natural gas manifold pressure should be 3.5" (± .3)
w.c. LP gas manifold pressure should be 10.0" (± .5)
w.c.
Only small variations in gas pressure should be made
by adjusting the pressure regulator.
1. With the gas to the unit shut off at the manual gas
valve, remove the outlet pressure tap plug.
2. Connect a manometer to this pressure tap.
3. Turn on the gas supply and operate the furnace (apply
a heat call).
4. Note or adjust the manifold gas pressure to give:
A. 3.5
(± .3) w.c. for natural gas.
B. 10.0
(± .5) w.c. for LP gas.
5. To adjust the pressure regulator, remove the regulator
cap. (See Figures 37A and 37B.)
6. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase pres-
sure, or counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
7. Securely replace the regulator cap.
8. Shut off gas at the manual gas valve and remove the
manometer and hose.
9. Replace the pressure tap plug before turning on the
gas.
10. Turn on the gas supply and check for gas leaks using
an approved leak detector. Do NOT use a flame of any
kind to check for leaks. Repair any leaks and repeat.

CAUTION
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2000 FT. REQUIRE THAT THE
FURNACE INPUT RATING BE ADJUSTED AND THAT
THE SIZE OF THE BURNER ORIFICES BE RECAL-
CULATED BASED ON ELEVATION AND GAS HEAT-
ING VALUE. THE BURNER ORIFICES MAY (OR MAY
NOT) NEED TO BE CHANGED. SEE THE SECTION
