Gas Input Rate
Check the gas input rate as follows (refer to “General
Safety Information,” p. 3 for metric conversions).
1. Turn off all gas appliances that use gas through the
same meter as the duct furnace.
2. Turn the gas on to the duct furnace.
3. Clock the time in seconds required to burn one cubic
foot of gas by checking the gas meter.
4. Insert the time required to burn one cubic foot of gas
into the following formula and compute the input rate.
For example:
Assume the Btu content of one cubic foot of gas is 1000,
and that it takes 18 seconds to burn one cubic foot of gas.
Note: If the computation exceeds, or is less than
95 percent of the gas Btu/h input rating (see
Table 2, p. 9), adjust the gas pressure.
Adjusting Gas Pressure
Natural Gas. Best results are obtained when the duct
furnace is operating at its full rated input with the manifold
pressure of 3.5 inches wc (0.9 kPa). Adjustment of the
pressure regulator is not normally necessary since it is
preset at the factory. However, field adjustment may be
made as follows:
1. Attach manometer at the pressure tap plug adjacent to
the control outlet.
2. Remove the regulator adjustment screw cap, located
on the combination gas valve.
3. With a small screwdriver, rotate the adjustment screw
counterclockwise to decrease pressure, or clockwise to
increase pressure.
4. Replace regulator adjustment screw cap.
Propane (LP) Gas. An exact manifold pressure of
10.0 inches wc (2.5 kPa) must be maintained for proper
operation of the duct furnace. If the duct furnace is
equipped with a pressure regulator on the combination
gas valve, follow Step 1 through Step 4 (above). If the duct
furnace is not so equipped, the propane gas supply system
pressure must be regulated to attain this manifold
operating pressure.

NOTICE:
Heater Damage!
Never over-fire the duct furnace, as this may cause
unsatisfactory operation, or shorten the life of the
heater.

Note: When installed in Canada, any references to deration at altitudes in
excess of 2,000 feet (610 m) are to be ignored. At altitudes of 2,000
to 4,500 feet (610 to 1372 m), the unit must be field derated and be
so marked in accordance with ETL certification. See Table 10 and
Table 11, p. 29 for field deration information.
