OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Supporting Gauge: (Optional - Not Supplied by Bacharach)
Clamp Bracket mounts on ¼ to 1-½ inch horizontal or vertical pipe. Where

Clamp Bracket is not available, Gauge can be supported by hand or propped against
vertical support while reading. In all cases, Gauge should be vertical while reading
for maximum accuracy (estimation by eye is suffi cient).

CONNECTING TO GAS LINE (Figure 1)
Turn OFF Main Gas Cock (6) to appliance. Remove Pipe Plug (7) from control

valve or gas line between regulator and burner. (Bush Plug opening larger than ¼
inch N.P.T. to ¼ inch.) Press tapered rubber Plug (8) with projecting metal Tube (9)
fi rmly into Plug hole with slight twisting motion. Open both Valves (10-11) one full
turn. Press tapered Plug (12) over right hand (facing front) Valve (11). Open main
Gas Cock (6) to appliance. Check pilot fl ame.

Where standard rubber sampling tube with tapered Plugs is not available, con­nect ¼ inch I. D. rubber tubing to gas line with hose nipple in pipe plug opening
and other end of hose to Valve (11).

READING-ADJUSTING MANIFOLD PRESSURE (Figure 2)
Turn burner on (after checking pilot fl ame) either by advancing thermostat 5-10°

F, or by manual turn on at control valve. Slide Scale (14) up with Scale Knob (15)
until Zero Scale Arrow (16) is opposite top of low (right hand) liquid column.
Read gas manifold pressure on Scale opposite top of higher (left hand) liquid col­umn (17). This is direct reading of pressure. Do not multiply this reading by 2.

To adjust pressure, remove Regulator Cap (18- Figure 1). Turn exposed screw
head clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to reduce pressure. Adjust
manifold pressure to value recommended by local utility (service engineer) or
manufacturer of burner.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

With a given size orifi ce spud (or orifi ce setting where adjustable) the gas mani-
fold pressure determines the fi ring rate in cubic feet of gas per hour. For quick, con-
venient calculation of fi ring rate or orifi ce size, use BACHARACH GAS SERVICE
CALCULATOR. This is a simple type of slide rule designed specifi cally for gas
service personnel or installer with simple, easy to follow instructions on the face
of the calculator. For every type or mixture of combustible gases, it is necessary
to operate burner in a given manifold pressure range for proper burner operation.
Consult local gas utility, service engineer or burner manufacturer for recommended
limits of gas manifold pressure.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

REVERSING SCALE (0017-7002 only) (Figure 3)

Front of Scale, as shipped from factory, reads pressure in inches of water. Rear
of Scale of 0017-7002 (only) is also graduated in ounces per square inch. When
only occasionally reading in ounces per square inch, reverse Scale.

Close Valves (10-11). Remove Screw (19). Press Retaining Ring (20-20) out
of retaining grooves. Lift off Front Cover (21). Remove Scale Knob (15), Scale
Clamp Cover (22), and Scale Clamp Screw. Reverse Scale and reassemble.

ADDING INDICATING FLUID (Figure 3)

Always use Bacharach Fluid, 0017-0025. Use of other fl uids will result in
error in reading pressure.

NOTE: Water will not operate in either Manometer Part# 0017-7002 or

0007-7013 (0017-7016 unfi lled) due to action of Blow Over-Seals
(23).

Remove left hand Valve (10) and open Valve (11). Slide Scale to bottom of
Gauge. Add suffi cient Bacharach Fluid, 0017-0025, with dropper provided, through
Valve opening to raise fl uid level in both legs to Fill Line on Scale (with Gauge in
vertical position).

4

Where Gauge contains little or no fl uid, Blow-Over Seals may, in fi lling, pre-
vent fl ow of fl uid from one leg to the other. When this happens, fi ll left hand leg
(through Valve (10) opening) approximately to Fill Line on Scale. Install Valve and
close both Valves. Invert Gauge and rap sharply with palm of hand. Slowly turn
Gauge upright and loosen both Valves. Fluid should now fl ow from one leg to the
other. If not, close both Valves and repeat previous steps. Then remove Valve (10),
loosen Valve (11), and add suffi cient Bacharach Fluid, 0017-0025, to raise Fluid
level in both legs to Fill Line on Scale.

PARTS REPLACEMENT (Figure 3)

Valve (10-11) may be screwed out of top assembly for replacement without dis­mantling top assembly. To remove Front Back Covers (21-24) at both top and
bottom of Gauge, remove Screws (19-25); press Retaining Rings (20-26) out of
retaining grooves and lift off Covers. This will permit replacement of Body (27),
Check Valve Balls (23-23, Manometer 0017-7013 contains only one ball at bottom
of right hand liquid column) and Grommet Tube (28) assembly.

CAUTION

Be sure to close Valves fi rmly before packing or transporting Gauge.
