 WARNING: You must use a ON/OFF safety valve/

pilot kit for propane/LP conversion.

PROPANE/LP GAS CONVERSION 

To convert to propane/LP gas, the burner inlet fitting and pilot orifice 

must be replaced. The propane/LP burner inlet fitting is supplied along 

with three color coded orifices pre-sized for each size log set. The 

propane/LP pilot orifice is also included and can be used to convert all 

size log sets. You must install the correct size orifice into the propane/

LP burner fitting using a 10 mm deep socket driver.

Burner Inlet Fitting

1.  Remove the natural gas burner inlet fitting from the burner pan 

assembly (see Figure 11). DO NOT remove the orifice from this 

fitting. The propane/LP burner inlet fitting included in the hardware 

kit has 6 holes and must be used to replace the natural gas inlet 

fitting (see Figure 12).

2.  Be sure to use the correct orifice for your appliance. The hardware 

kit included with this appliance contains orifices with a cone-like 

shape. The orifices are color coded for each respective size log 

set as indicated by model number (see Figure 1, page 2).

3.  Use a 10 mm deep socket or nut driver to thread the new 

propane/LP orifice into the propane/LP burner inlet fitting (see 

Figure 12).

PILOT FLOW ADJUSTMENT

After installation is complete and the unit has been ignited, it may 

be necessary to adjust the pilot. Use a small flat-head screwdriver 

to turn the flow adjustment screw on the manual control valve (see 

Figure 14). Turn the screw counterclockwise to allow more gas to 

flow or clockwise to restrict gas flow. Be careful to limit the turns 

to 2-

 from the fully closed position. Further turning can result 

in gas leaking at the adjustment screw and the pilot flame size will 

diminish. The proper pilot flow will result in a strong blue flame 

between 1/2" and 1" long.

4.  Using thread sealant (resistant to the action of propane/LP gas) 

on larger end of fitting, screw the burner inlet fitting through hole 

and into burner manifold. Tighten using a wrench. 

5 .  Follow steps 1 through 12 under 

Natural Gas Installation

, page 5.

Changing Pilot Orifice

The pilot is provided with a natural gas orifice installed. For propane/

LP gas you must remove it and replace it with an propane/LP orifice. 

The hardware kit contains an propane/LP orifice with a red stripe for 

converting the pilot. 
1.  Gently loosen and remove the pilot line connection from the bracket 

(see Figure 13). 

2.  Replace the injector (see Figure 13) with the propane/LP pilot 

injector with the red stripe.

3.  Replace and tighten the pilot line to the bracket.
4.  Continue with step 3 under 

Natural Gas Installation, 

page 5.

Note:

 Follow the instructions in your hearth kit owner’s manual under 

the section, 

Testing Burner for Leaks
