Great video bud. The speed of everything was perfect and you explained everything amazingly. I just bought the same monometer and had no idea using it, I'm new to the field so this video helped out a lot.
excellent, well done actually & thanks for this. have you done a video for a tankless water system? We've got a propane tankless water heater that requires a 7/16" hose connector to the manometer. I've been give the WC stats: low -.06 and high -.07 with the gas inlet needing to be set at 12. Hoping to find a manometer online
You should turn on and Zero your Manomiter to the atmospheric pressure before your connection to the gas valve, and you should run the appliance for about 10 minutes at Maximum Rate to allow the burner and gas injector to become hot and expand to produce its true gas rate. You should always test all disturbed gas joints with Leak Detection Fluid after reconnecting any fittings, plugs, etc
I would think you would also want any other gas appliance (hot water heater , stove, gas FP, etc.)on and running at same time you are testing this valve?
First the video was great !!!! I have a question !!! When a heater ( furnace) first starts the burns turn on and after it reaches a temp in the heat exchanger the blower is suppose to turn on !!!! And after the heat exchager reachs set temp the burns stop the bullers keeps working till it cools the heat exchanger and start all ove4 again . Right. !!! I have a furnace that the blower turns on and a little bet after the burns turn !!! Which i think is wrong !!!!!! Trane / America standard model S8B1B080M4PSC. Any ideas
Thank you for the video. May I know what gauge of your screwdriver to unscrew the adjustment cap on the gas valve? The cap seems very tight on my gas valve, and I am not able to unscrew it using a regular flathead screw.
I just finished my new 2lb system last night. I had to adjust my maxitrol valves because they were factory set for natural gas at 8wc. I hooked up and turned the system on. Got a inlet reading of 8wc then adjusted to 11.13wc within the range of 11 to 14 for me. Then flipped the gas back off and checked the manifold side. Found 10.03 for high fire and 5 for low.
Out of curiosity why does the gas valve go out of adjustment? My mid efficiency never had that issues but my current Ameristar is a pain - gas valve always over 4 inches water column. Anyone help??
You would check the voltage at the gas valve when the board sends for gas to be released at the gas valve. If you have power there and the valve don’t work. It’s the valve. If you don’t get power at the time of the call, then you have a bad board
