INSTALLATION

4. With O-ring facing the gas control, align the screw

holes on the gas control with the holes in the flange. Insert
and tighten the screws provided with the flange. See Fig.
5. Tighten the screws to 25 inch pounds of torque to
provide a gas-tight seal.

Bushings

1. Remove seal over gas control inlet or outlet.
2. Apply moderate amount of good quality pipe com-

pound to bushing, leaving two end threads bare. On LP gas
installation, use compound resistant to LP gas. Do NOT
use Teflon tape.

for LP regulator and 3.5 in. wc [0.9 kPa] for natural gas
regulator.

6. Check the regulator setting either with a manometer

or by clocking the gas meter. Refer to Startup and Check-
out section.

7. Install the new cap screw.
8. Mount conversion label on control.
9. Install control and appliance according to appliance

manufacturer instructions.

INSTALL ADAPTERS TO GAS CONTROL

If adapters are to be installed on the gas control,  mount

them as follows:

Flanges

1. Choose the appropriate flange for your application.
2. Remove seal over gas control inlet or outlet.
3. Ensure the O-ring is fitted into the groove of the

flange. If the O-ring is not attached or is missing, do not
use the flange.
