The manifold if the metal tube that directs the gas from the gas valve to (2-10) orifices so each orifice receives the same amount of pressure. This manifold is factory made and should never be changed.

What is the typicalgas manifold pressure for a natural gas furnace?
3.5
What is the typical gas manifold pressure for a natural gas furnace?
3.5 inches WC for a single stage furnace. 2 stage would be 1.75`` low fire and 3.5`` hi fire. For a modulating gas valve, follow the mfr`s set up instructions.
How do you identify an electric furnace from a gas furnace?
an electric furnace runs off of 208/230 Volts while a typical gas furnace runs off of 120 also a gas furnace will have a valve for the gas relay where the gas enters the furnace.
Where to get a schematic for a gas furnace?
You can find a schematic for a gas furnace on the website, Uncionradio.
How do you run gas from the furnace to appliances?
You should not run gas from the furnace to any appliances.
Can a furnace manifold leak?
Sure can. This is very dangerous so have it inspected.
Where can one find gas furnace prices?
There are many places to find gas furnace prices. One can look on sites like Furnace Price Guides, Century Gas Furnace, and Consumer Reports. One can also find gas furnace prices by going to a local heating supply store.
What is a gas furnace and its advantage?
A gas furnace is a furnace that operates to keep your house warm with the use of gas. Gas furnaces are very energy efficient furnaces, and are the most common furnaces used in North America.

How do you set gas pressure on a gas furnace?
1. Determine "manifold pressure" from furnace rating plate (often 3.5" W.C.) 2. Identify the manifold pressure plug. This is typically found on the outlet side of the gas valve; occasionally, it is a tap on the manifold itself.3. With the furnace shut off, disconnect the pressure plug and install a barbed tap in its place. Connect this to your manometer with flexible tubing.4. If the furnace is "direct vent"--it has two vents, one to bring in combustion air from outdoor, and the second to convey products of combustion back out--then you will need to use a "differential manometer" and connect the second pressure tap to the burner box, probably by teeing in to the pressure hose connecting the burner box to the gas valve and the pressure switch. If you skip this step, you will not read the proper manifold pressure, since direct vent equipment sets manifold pressure not to atmosphere, but to the negative pressure inside the burner box.5. Fire up the furnace and measure the manifold pressure.6. If it is incorrect, adjust it on the gas valve. There usually is a large cap that can be removed with a slot screwdriver. Under it is the adjustment itself, usually a slot screw. This often adjusts clockwise to increase manifold pressure, but adjust and observe.6. You may not exceed the rated manifold pressure, although you may under-rate it by up to 10%.7. Replace the cap over the adjustment screw and confirm your pressure reading.8. At the same time, I recommend reading the Hot Surface Ignitor current (if present): on most furnaces, this should be 2A or higher.9. Also simultaneously check flame signal: this should be at least 2 microamps (uA).The HVAC Veteran
Where can one get information on gas furnace troubleshooting?
One could find information on gas furnace troubleshooting online at Ask. Hvac for beginners is also a great place to look. One could also contact their local gas furnace dealer and/or repairer for gas furnace troubleshooting.
Furnace gas versus electric?
Go with gas.
