English term or phrase: screw closed
Por favor lean las instrucciones. El problema que tengo es que mi traduccion del término "Tap screw" es "Tornillo de ajuste del gas" y de "Tighten" es "Ajuste"

Ajuste el tornillo de ajuste...?

Install a manometer into the pressure tap.

Light the appliance as directed in Section 9 of this manual. Set the manifold pressure on the gas valve by rotating the flame control solenoid. Adjust until the reading on the manometer is 3.5 in. W.C. for natural gas or 10 in. W.C. for LP.
Tighten the jam nut to the face of the variable regulator body.

Remove the manometer from the pressure tap and screw the tap closed.

Spanish translation:cerrar tornillo regulador del gas
Explanation:
me parece que no es tornillo de ajuste del gas (en todo caso, de ajuste del paso de gas) sino *regulador del gas*; entonces puedes ajustarlo o desajustarlo cuanto quieras

tapar el agujero con un tornillo


Explanation:
El texto describe una serie de operaciones de mantenimiento que requieren el uso de un manómetro. El manómetro no forma parte del equipo. El equipo cuenta con un agujero roscado ideado para la instalación del manómetro que normalmente está tapado por un tornillo. El agujero lleva por nombre "pressure tap". Una vez acabadas las operaciones de mantenimiento se debe retirar el manómetro y se debe tapar el agujero con un tornillo, lo que el autor describe como "screw the tap closed" en un inglés particularmente vernacular. Lo más apropiado hubiera sido "close the pressure tap by replacing the screw in its hole", que desde luego es mucho más largo pero que es mucho más claro.
