Installing Propane Orifice 

13. Reattach the wiring connector to the gas valve.  Tighten

the screw on the wiring connector to secure to the gas
valve.

14. Turn the gas valve power switch to the “ON” position.

15. Reattach the bezel to the unit.  Reconnect the ribbon cable

to the control board.

16. After installation is complete, fill out the gas conversion

label (in the conversion kit bag) and affix it to the unit
under the boiler rating plate inside the unit.  Attach the LP
caution label (in the conversion kit bag) to the left side of
the unit in the lower left corner.

17. Replace the front access cover.

2.

Mount the wall bracket using the 2 1/4" lag bolts 
provided.  Make sure the top edge of the bracket is away 
from the wall.  Ensure the bracket is level when mounted.  
Extreme care is needed to ensure the bolts are secured in 
the center of the studs.

3.

Hang the boiler on the bracket and secure the bottom of 
the boiler with two (2) additional lag bolts provided.

Mounting to a metal studded wall:

1.

The wall mount bracket is designed for a stud spacing of 
16 inches from center.  For other stud spacing a solid 
mounting surface must be provided by the installer.

WARNING

The boiler is too heavy for a single person to
lift.  A minimum of two people is needed for
mounting the boiler onto the bracket.

2.

Mount the wall bracket using two (2) field supplied toggle 
bolts capable of supporting 100 pounds each.  Ensure the 
top edge of the bracket is away from the wall.  Ensure the 
bracket is level when mounted.  Extreme care is needed to 
ensure the bolts are secured in the center of the studs.

3.

Hang the boiler on the bracket and secure the bottom of the 
boiler with two (2) field supplied toggle bolts.

WARNING

Do not mount the boiler to a hollow wall.  Be
sure to mount the boiler to the studs only.

Mounting the boiler

See page 9 of this manual for boiler mounting location
instructions.

NOTICE

The Knight Wall Mount boiler is not
intended for floor installation.

Mounting to a wood studded wall:

1.

The wall mount bracket is designed for a stud spacing of 
16 inches from center.  For other stud spacing a solid 
mounting surface must be provided by the installer.

WARNING

Do not mount the boiler to a hollow wall.
Be sure to mount the boiler to the studs
only.

Mounting to a concrete wall:

1.

Mount the wall bracket using the two (2) wedge anchor 
bolts provided with the bracket.  To mount the wedge 
anchor bolts, drill a 1/4" diameter hole 1 1/8" deep and 
insert anchor.  Hang the bracket from the anchor and secure
with the two nuts provided.  Make sure the top edge of the 
bracket is away from the wall.  Ensure bracket is level when 
mounted.  Extreme care is needed to ensure the bolts are 
secured in the center of the studs.

Note:

If wall thickness does not allow a 1 1/8" deep hole, field

supplied hardware suitable for the application should be
provided.

2.

Hang the boiler on the bracket and secure the bottom of the 
boiler with two (2) remaining anchors, following the 
instructions above.

WARNING

The boiler is too heavy for a single person to
lift.  A minimum of two people is needed for
mounting the boiler onto the bracket.

WARNING

After converting to LP, check combustion
per the Start-up procedure in Section 10
of this manual.  Failure to check and
verify combustion could result in severe
personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.

WARNING

The boiler is too heavy for a single person to
lift.  A minimum of two people is needed for
mounting the boiler onto the bracket.
