4. Attach a hose and manometer to the outlet pressure
barb fitting (Honeywell valve) or inlet pressure boss (White-
Rodgers valve).
5. Turn ON the gas supply.
6. Turn On power and close thermostat “R” and “W” contacts
to provide a call for heat.
7. Using a leak detection solution or soap suds, check for
leaks at outlet pressure boss plug (Honeywell valve) or
screw (White-Rodgers valve). Bubbles forming indicate
a leak. SHUT OFF GAS AND REPAIR ALL LEAKS
IMMEDIATELY!
8. Measure the gas supply pressure with burners firing.
Adjust supply pressure using the Inlet Gas Supply
Pressure table shown below. If supply pressure reading
differs from the table, make necessary adjustments to
pressure regulator, gas piping size, etc., and/or consult
with local gas utility.

Remove the 1/8” NPT hose barb fitting from the inlet
pressure tap. Replace the inlet pressure boss plug
and seal with a high quality thread sealer.
b. White-Rodgers 36G22 valve:
Turn inlet pressure test screw in to seal pressure port
(clockwise, 7 in-lb minimum).
