Lochinvar FTXL Gas Pressure SW — Optional Manual Reset Low or High Gas Pressure Switch Tripped, or Gas Pressure Switch Contacts Open
Gas Pressure SW
Optional manual reset low or high gas pressure switch tripped, or gas pressure switch contacts open. Either the optional manual reset low gas pressure switch or the optional manual reset high gas pressure switch tripped, or the gas pressure switch contacts on the Low Voltage Connection Board are open. Measure the supply gas pressure to determine the cause of failure: natural gas should be between 4 - 14 inches w.c. (Models 400, 600 - 1000) or 5 - 14 inches w.c. (Model 500) and LP gas between 8 - 14 inches w.c., correct the supply pressure if necessary, and check for a loose or misplaced jumper if pressure switches are not installed. The table classifies it as Lockout (manual reset).
If you smell gas
- Stop what you are doing. Do not use phones, switches, matches or anything that can spark inside.
- Go outside and leave the door open behind you.
- Call the FortisBC 24-hour emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 or dial 911.
Only after that, call ROMA about the boiler. Official guidance: FortisBC gas leaks and odour.

Why a code is not a diagnosis
A gas-train code involves the gas valve or its electrical circuit. It does not mean there is a leak; the circuit, coils and wiring must be measured by a licensed technician.
Safe things to observe
- If you smell gas, stop, go outside and call your gas utility's emergency line or 911 before anything else.
- Note the exact code and what the appliance was doing when it appeared.
- Check whether other gas appliances in the building are working.
Do not
- Do not reset or run the appliance while the gas valve circuit is suspect.
- Do not touch the gas valve.
How professional service helps
- A technician verifies harness connections and coil resistances against the manual before replacing parts.
- Combustion and safety devices are verified with an analyser and the manufacturer's procedure after any repair.

Parts and service
Parts commonly involved
These parts appear in the documented text for this alert. A code reports a condition, not a failed part — a technician confirms the cause by testing before anything is replaced.

Frequently asked questions
Does this code mean I have a gas leak?
Not by itself. If you smell gas, stop, leave the building and call your gas utility's emergency line or 911 from outside before anything else. Otherwise the code points to a fault a technician confirms on site.
Can I clear this code myself?
Clearing a code without fixing its cause usually just brings it back. Note the code, check the safe items on this page, then call a licensed technician. If your appliance manual describes a user reset for this exact code and it stays away, no call may be needed.
Boiler locked out? Call with the alert text ready.
The brand, model and this alert are passed along when you request service online, so the technician arrives prepared.
