B. LP CONVERSION
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED AT THE
FACTORY FOR USE ON NATURAL GAS
ONLY. CONVERSION TO LP GAS
REQUIRES A SPECIAL KIT SUPPLIED
BY THE DISTRIBUTOR OR
MANUFACTURER. MAILING
ADDRESSES ARE LISTED ON THE
FURNACE RATING PLATE, PARTS LIST
AND WARRANTY. FAILURE TO USE
THE PROPER CONVERSION KIT CAN
CAUSE FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING, EXPLOSION, PERSONAL
INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
DEATH.
Convert the unit to use liquefied petroleum
(LP) gas by replacing with the stem/spring
assembly supplied in the conversion kit.
The LP gas valve maintains the proper
manifold pressure for LP gas. The correct
burner LP orifices are included in the kit.
See Figure 18A for component locations.
NOTE:
Order the correct LP conversion kit
from the furnace manufacturer.
See
Conversion Kit Index shipped with unit
for proper LP kit number. Furnace
conversion to LP gas must be
performed by a qualified technician.
C. ADJUSTING OR CHECKING

Only small variations in the gas flow should
be made by means of the pressure
regulator adjustment. Furnaces functioning
on LP gas must be set by means of the tank
or branch supply regulators. The furnace
manifold pressure should be set at 10” W.C.
at the gas control valve.

Supply and manifold pressure taps are
located on the gas valve body 1/8” N.P.T.
and on the manifold. See Figure 18B.
Use a properly calibrated manometer gauge
for accurate gas pressure readings.
