Manifold Gas Pressure

[@walterschumaker9567]

This morning, this is the best explanation available on KZbin in my humble opinion. Thank you

[@SiteReader]

He gets right to the point and gives you all the information you need, straight up with no BS. I wasted an hour watching two other ones that didn't show half what he shows.

As always great job Bill. I am in my 4th class with him and he not only can teach and lay a ton of information on you, but make a long class fun, exciting, and a place you look forward to being in. This is the kind of guy you want as your technician that has more brains than a much senior tech. Edit: today I become an alumni of the program.

the best video I have ever seen about explaining the gas valve and how to adjust it,

[@freddesjardins7399]

Excellent instructions complete and very concise from a to z 👍

[@aundraydavid4821]

Almost 4 years I've been outta school bill, still helping me out! Miss being in the Roc

[@henripedro4760]

Excellent informative video. The man really presented the information in a very professional way. Thank you.

[@DONALD1951]

Gas companies are also responsible for the meter. Homeowner is responsible for everything after the meter outlet. Some services don’t have a regulator. If it is a low pressure service. Very good video.

[@kevincopley7783]

Thank you so much for this video. You’ve saved me a ton of headaches!

[@Feather-Frame]

Very informative video. I learned a lot. Surprised this video is this old with only a couple comments!

[@chrismaddox15]

Great info..... thanks for such a great video!

[@sirvayr]

I was wondering about this. Saved me money on buying a digital fofr something I will never use again.

[@rasheed4585]

Explained professionally

[@bigd835]

Fantastic video. Took all the voodoo out of the furnace set up. Thank you !!

[@mikefox2379]

I checked pressures on a the newer valve with the small allen key screws. I actually removed the screw and put it back as tight as it was (to the best of my knowledge) Is this going to cause an issue? I just heard you say to NOT remove the screw and just turn it a full turn.

[@jefferydickinson3129]

Very good video great presentation

[@justincomer7302]

That’s a very basic way to set gas pressure. That 3.5 rating on the furnace is in perfect conditions at an exact altitude with the exact size orfice.. Just because you set a furnace at 3.5” WC does not mean you getting a safe combustion or complete combustion. A combustion analyzer is the only proper way to determine your getting the correct fuel to air ratio. Adjusting the gas pressure up or down while watching the combustion readings to make sure your at the right oxygen and CO content within the furnace. So you may end up with 3.2” or 3.8” and orfices may need to be replaced to achieve this. So if your adjusting gas pressure with out doing a combustion analysis then your just guessing and could be leaving an unsafe condition.

[@brianmutascio8325]

Why is it, that equipment mfg don't supply the O2 & CO content on the furnace spec data plate, along with the "W.C data....

[@boby115]

@@brianmutascio8325 , you are correct. The manufacturer's info plate will supply you with minimum and maximum Inlet pressures, specific manifold pressure & temperature rise ranges. Oxygen, CO2, CO and moisture content can be analyzed. Analyzing the products of combustion is a good practice, so we can verify the unit is in range but using it to adjust gas pressure and determining the fixed orifice sizes should be left to the OEM not the installer. Just an FYI, a lot of things can affect combustion analyzation ( quality of gas, combustion air quality, humidity , Venturi adjustment, gas pressure and yes improper orifice sizing, but someone would have to make a mistake for that to happen). Anytime a gas Appliance is put into service, always follow manufacturers instructions,GAMA ( Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association) requirements & the National Gas Fuel Codes. Hope some of this helps and you all please stay safe out there.

Well done teaching, thank you

[@miguelmorales6148]

Very good video, so professional good explanations

[@bobbyz7736]

The furnace shown in the example shows a union before the gas valve. Shouldn't the union be placed after the gas valve?

[@tgamirov]

Excellent video, thanks

[@c_farther5208]

I used to go to that college, smart people there. Anyway, is there a reason I get a high pitched squeal when it is running? Seems like it only does that when it is super cold outside.

[@KavinSBS]

The best way to explain

[@stevebockiaro3832]

How do you adjust the inlet gas to the valve if it’s to low or high?

[@eegg6954]

On a high pressure service, the outside pressure regulator can be adjusted, but this is the job of the utility. On a low pressure service, the utility should be contacted after you have checked the sizing and loss of your supply piping run for your connected load.

[@hkhalil718]

what size of the fitting ? you said 1/4 in, right?

[@billrimmer5596]

Excellent job!!

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job and video like always

[@enzoamore9173]

What causes condensation in flue pipe on natural gas boiler?

[@daveo.5479]

great video!

[@enzoamore9173]

The barb fitting only goes on hand tight when taking manifold gas pressure?

[@Pauladigms]

correct

[@CVDUSA]

very good

[@luisvillegas4412]

Very good vidio 👋

[@christopherpaul2938]

great video

[@lancerudy9934]

What would happen if you lowered the gas pressure to the out put side of regulator.?

[@eegg6954]

The flame lowers and the boiler is down fired, putting out less heating BTU... The mixture air/fuel ratio may also be affected and should be adjusted using the proper analyzer if desired. The firing rate should not be modified unless approved by the burner manufacturer.

[@williambuck5652]

YOUR VIDEO IS VERY GOOD!!!

[@vicmazza1756]

No look at actual meter ... Plus and minus ports on meter ...using the meter??????

[@jaykemm3472]

Would be much better with the shirt off.
