Tools required for gas valve outlet

pressure measurement

1 U-tube manometer with tubing -

Manometer provides a fine scale by
slanting the manometer (Dwyer Model
1227 recommended).

2 Tee hose fitting (provided in high

altitude kit).

Figure 74

Carefully connect manometer to gas valve

as shown, following instructions on this

page (see legend at left)

5. Position and zero manometer per manufacturer’s instructions. The

manometer must have at least 6” of tubing above the fluid level or

fluid may be drawn into the gas valve.

If manometer fluid is drawn into gas valve body, gas valve

must be replaced. Fluid in valve will cause it to malfunc-

tion, possibly resulting in severe personal injury, death

or substantial property damage.

6. Disconnect tube from hose barb on gas valve vent tap. Connect

tube end to tee hose fitting as shown in Figure 74. Then add length

of hose from tee hose fitting to gas valve vent tap.

7. Connect positive side manometer hose to top of the tee hose fit-

ting (Figure 74).

8. Connect negative side manometer hose to the barrel of the gas

valve outlet pressure tap (Figure 74).

Check gas valve setpoint

1. Open manual gas valve and turn on electrical power to boiler.

2. Start boiler and allow boiler to run for 5 minutes.

3. Read manometer. This is the gas valve outlet pressure set point. If

set point is between – 0.1” w.c. and – 0.3” w.c. go to step 7.

4. If gas valve setpoint is not between – 0.1” w.c. and – 0.3” w.c., use

T-40 driver to remove cap on gas valve pressure regulator.

5. Turn gas valve pressure regulator screw counter clockwise to

lower gas valve set point to – 0.2” w.c.

6. Reinstall cap on gas valve pressure regulator using T-40 driver.

7. Cycle boiler off and on several times to verify gas valve set point.

If set point does not remain between - 0.1” w.c. and – 0.3” w.c.,

readjust as necessary.

8. Close manual gas supply valve and turn off electrical power to

boiler.

9. Remove manometer hose from gas valve outlet pressure tap barrel

and replace sealing screw.

10. Remove tee hose fitting and added tube.

11. Reinstall hose on gas valve vent tap hose barb.

12. Open manual gas supply valve and turn on electrical power to

boiler.
