4.14 Measuring gas pressure

Confirm gas pressure upon installation.
Connecting manometer
▶ Shut off gas supply at installer supplied shutoff valve for
this water heater.
▶ Remove front cover and locate inlet gas pressure test port
(see fig. 38).
▶ Loosen screw inside left test point fitting (do not remove)
and connect manometer tube to test point.
Static Pressure Test
▶ Turn gas supply back on.
▶ Record static gas pressure reading in table 33.
Operating Pressure Test
▶ Push power button
▶ Push and hold the

▶ Turn power back on by pushing the power button
▶ Continue to hold the

▶ Operate all other gas appliances (except heater) on same
gas piping system at maximum output.
▶ Turn on high volume of hot water flow (at least 6 gpm) and
burner will light. If heater display reverts to P2, open more
hot water fixtures to allow sufficient flow. Press
P1 reappears on the display.
▶ Record lowest operating gas pressure reading in table 33.
Gas pressures lower than 3.5" W.C. for Natural Gas or 8" W.C.

Lowering P1 fan speed reduces the maximum BTU input.
As a temporary measure if the gas pressure in P1 is below
specification, lower P1 fan speed incrementally until minimum
inlet gas pressure reaches specified range (table 32). After
upgrading gas line, reset appliance to P1 factory default setting
(NG: 48, LP: 40) or setting from chapter 4.3.8.
