CONVERTING TO A DIFFERENT GAS TYPE
To convert propane to natural gas or from natural to propane gas, carefully follow the steps below:
SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE UNIT AND ANY NEARBY ELECTRICAL SOURCES OR APPLIANCES.
If present, remove all decorative media from the unit.
Remove the screws attaching the burner pan to your enclosure.
Carefully detach the flex connector attached to the orifice holder (see Fig. 1) and unscrew the orifice holder from the burner pipe (see Fig. 1).
Remove the orifice from the holder (see Fig. 2) and replace with the proper-sized one for your gas requirement.
• Propane gas requires a 2.30 mm (drill size) orifice.
• Natural gas requires a 3.78 mm orifice.Note:
• If you are converting to and using natural gas, you MUST install the air shutter over the burner pipe to cover the air holes (see Fig. 4).
• For propane (L.P.) gas, remove the air shutter.Replace the orifice holder and reattach the connector from the valve (see Fig. 3).
The regulator must now be converted to the new gas type.To convert the regulator from propane gas to natural gas:
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system.
At test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).Move the propane pipe from regulator and replace with 3/8" natural gas pipe.
Restore your gas supply and check for leaks per the INSTALLATION section. When no leaks are detected, fasten the burner pan back into place on the enclosure and replace the decorative media.
