Shield water heaters are typically shipped ready to fire on natural gas. Check the water heater rating plate to
determine which fuel the water heater is set for. In order to operate on LP gas contact the factory, an orifice
MUST BE installed or a gas valve adjustment MUST BE made. Failure to comply could result in severe
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

of pipe, to avoid excessive pressure drop. Both the gas meter
and the gas regulator must be properly sized for the total gas

of pipe, to avoid excessive pressure drop. Both the gas meter
and the gas regulator must be properly sized for the total gas

If you experience a pressure drop greater than 1 inch w.c.,
the meter, regulator, or gas line is undersized or in need of
service. Perform the steps below when checking inlet gas

the meter, regulator, or gas line is undersized or in need of
service. Perform the steps below when checking inlet gas
supply:
1. Disconnect power from the appliance.
2. Shut off gas to the appliance.
3. Loosen the set screw one (1) full turn from inside the
pressure tap on top of the gas valve. Place the tubing of
the manometer over the tap once the set screw is
loosened as shown in FIG.’s 6-4 thru 6-6.
4. Slowly turn on the gas supply at the field installed
manual gas valve.
WARNING
5. Reconnect power to the appliance.
6. Adjust the temperature set point on the control panel of
the electronic control module to call for heat.
7. Observe the gas supply pressure as the burner fires at
100% of rated input. Percent of burner input will be
displayed on the control panel.
8. Ensure inlet pressure is within specified range.
Minimum and maximum gas supply pressures are
specified in this section of the manual.
9. If gas supply pressure is within normal range and no
adjustments are needed, proceed on to Step 11.
10. If the gas pressure is out of range, contact the gas utility,
gas supplier, qualified installer or service agency to
determine the necessary steps to provide proper gas
pressure to the control.
11. Disconnect power from the appliance.
12. Shut off the gas to the appliance.
13. Remove the manometer from the pressure tap on top of
the gas valve. Re-tighten the set screw inside the pressure
tap.

NOTICE
CSA or UL listed flexible gas connections
are acceptable, but you must exercise
caution to ensure that the line has adequate
capacity to allow your water heater to fire
at full rate. Consult with local codes for
proper installation or service procedures.

DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure
gas valve outlet pressure. The gas valve is
factory-set for the correct outlet pressure.
This setting is suitable for natural gas
and propane (when configured for LP),
requiring no field adjustment. Attempting
to alter or measure the gas valve outlet
pressure could result in damage to the
valve, causing potential severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage.
