Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, remove the
burner and connect a manometer (water gauge) or other pressure device
to the top right front burner orifice. Using a rubber hose with inside
diameter of approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over orifice. Turn
burner valve on. For an accurate pressure check, have at least two (2)
other surface burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet) pressure
is at least one inch above specified range manifold pressure. The gas
supply pressure should never be over 14" water column. When properly
adjusted the manifold water column pressure is 10" for LP/Propane gas
or 4" for Natural gas.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
a. Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures greater than 14" of water column pressure
(approximately 1/2" psig).
b. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 14" of water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).
