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.

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

Use adjustable wrench on brass fittings had 2 different instructor that would lost it seeing channel locks on brass fittings

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?

Great explanation! One thing that should be mentioned is derating a furnace at higher altitudes
@markour-parkour19182 жыл бұрын
It’s also good to mention that pressures need to be adjusted to match certain altitudes

The panel on the furnace or the manual may have the derating values

Shouldn't you zero the manometer when it's open to atmosphere not when you are connected to the gas valve?
@mainstreetmotorcobayport2061 Жыл бұрын
Your pressure was high at the start but should you adjust the pressure to what the furnace needs on the spec sheet?

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

Hi, thanks for the great video. I’m curious, What are the downsides to having too much water column entering the unit?
@HVACTechTips4 жыл бұрын
Too much means it will burn very rich and can also cause the furnace to over heat
@carlossaenz40754 ай бұрын
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

Do you set the pressure based on the gas valve or on the pressure recommended by the furnace unit ?
@jackiewong8245663 жыл бұрын
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.

If using LP gas, what should the water column be at AFTER the gas valve?

Usually around 10” w.c. But some manufacturers are different. You would have to look it up online to know for sure

How can you tell if it's the gas valve that's bad? Would it not turn the furnace on?
@HVACTechTips3 жыл бұрын
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
