  Installing the propane gas orifice bushing (some details omitted for clarity)

Converting boiler to propane — WM97+70/110

 

(cont.)

7.  See Figure 10. Insert the propane gas orifice bushing (item 4) into 

the gas valve outlet as shown.

8.  Press the bushing into the gas valve outlet until the bushing flange 

butts against the gas valve outlet.

  Inspect the O-rings on the propane gas orifice bushing 

an on the gas valve outlet (item 5, Figure 10). The O-

rings must be in good condition and must be installed. 

Failure to comply will cause a gas leak, resulting in severe 

personal injury or death.

9.  Reposition gas valve into the venturi and reinstall the gas valve 

retention ring (item 3, Figure 10). 

 

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MEASURE VALVE OUTLET 
PRESSURE.

 The valve could be damaged by manom-

eter fluid contamination. Failure to comply could result 

in severe personal injury, death or substantial property 

damage.

10. After installation is complete, attach the propane conversion label 

(in conversion kit bag) next to the boiler rating plate.

11. Perform complete start-up sequence (beginning on page 85), 

including check for gas leaks and checking for proper operation.

12. Reinstall jacket front panel.
