3.  Disconnect the 1/4" tubing from the fitting on the underside of 

the pan base. Disconnect the fitting from the inlet side of the gas 
control valve. 

4.  Spin off the coupling just above the tee. The gas valve assembly 

will drop out of the way, allowing access to the coupling.

5.  Uncrew the coupling assembly from the pan base. The orifice is 

located at top end of coupling. Unscrew it and install the orifice 
from the package marked 'Ember Burner Orifice' in this kit to 
convert to the new gas.                     

Main Gas Control Regulator:

6.  Before re-assembling the gas tubing, the gas valve must be 

converted to operate on the new gas. Change the regulator on 
the SIT Nova gas valve.

 

Note: This fireplace has a flip-over regulator, and needs no extra 
parts to convert.

7.  To convert from one gas to another, simply unscrew the regula-

tor, turn over and reinstall. One face of regulator is  stamped NG, 
the other is marked LPG. The outer face of screw will indicate 
the correct gas. 

8.  Reassemble the gas fittings.
