LP CONVERSION
The gas valve is not field convertible for
use with LP gas. LP conversion kit no.
RXGJ-FP09 is required. The kit
includes a LP gas valve, burner orifices
and the Installation Instructions. Follow
the kit instructions for installing and
adjusting the orifices and valve.
NOTE: Order the correct LP conversion
kit from the furnace manufacturer.
Furnace conversion to LP gas must
be performed by a qualified
technician.
To change orifice spuds for either
conversion to LP or for elevation:
1. Shut off the manual main gas
valve and remove the gas
manifold.
2. Replace the orifice spuds.
3. Reassemble in reverse order.
Consult the tables at right if there is any
question concerning orifice sizing.
4. Turn the gas supply back on and
check for proper operation and
manifold pressure.
5. Attach the notice label alerting the
next service technician that the
furnace has been converted to LP
gas.
