4.17.1 Gas supply pressure
Confirm gas pressure upon installation.
Connecting manometer
▶ Shut off gas supply at installer supplied shutoff valve for
this water heater.
▶ Locate the inlet gas pressure test port (see Fig. 22).
▶ Loosen the screw inside test port fitting (do not remove)
and connect the manometer tube to the test port (see
fig. 22).
Static Pressure Test
▶ Turn the gas supply back on.
▶ Record the static gas pressure reading in table 14.
Dynamic Pressure Test
▶ Turn ON the appliance.
▶Access menu P1 Max. Power, see chapter 8.11.2.
Note: While in this mode the appliance will run constantly at
maximum power and allow maximum water flow.
For inlet gas pressure adjustment consider the following table:
Table 13 Minimum inlet gas pressure under full operation
▶ Operate all other gas appliances (except heater) on the
same gas piping system at maximum output.
▶ Open all hot water faucets to achieve a flow rate of at least
6 gallons per minute. (1 tub and 2 sinks should be
sufficient). If heater goes back to P2, open more hot water
fixtures to allow sufficient flow and access to P1.
▶ Record the lowest operating gas pressure reading in
table 14.
▶ Turn OFF the appliance.
▶ Shut off gas supply.
▶ Disconnect the manometer tube from the test point.
▶ Tighten the screw inside test point fitting.
Gas pressures lower than 3.5" W.C. or 8" W.C. for LPG for
Natural Gas may result in reduced power output.
