TEST SOLUTION
- Turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot fl ame fl utters,
diminishes or extinguishes, especially when main burner
ignites. Monitor appliance supply working pressure.
- Check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all
undersized piping.
- Check pressure readings:
- Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A)
counter-clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing
pressure gauge tubing over the test point. Gauge
should read as described on the chart below. Check
that main burner is operating on 'HI'.
- Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above
using screw (B). Gauge should read as described on
the chart below. Check that main burner is operating on
'HI'.
- AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO
TURN SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO
NOT OVER TORQUE.
- Leak test with a soap and water solution.
