Step 9:
Insert a 4mm hex head (allen wrench) into the
octagon hole of the brass orifice inside the pilot assembly
and turn clockwise until it stops (approximately 2 full
revolutions). See Fig. 8.

Once the orifice has been converted to LP then re-install
the pilot hood, ensure the clip is in place (if removed) and
mount the metal pilot box back into place in the same
manner you removed it from the burner pan. See Fig. 6.
NOTE:
Figs. 7 and 9 provide a visual reference of the
pilot orifice from Natural gas to LP gas through the vent
hole of the pilot assembly.
Step 10:
Look for the low rate set screw in the gas valve
box. There is a cutout (window) area that allows access to
the low rate set screw. Fig. 10 below shows the side view
of the burner pan and a close-up detail.

Step 11:
Remove the low rate set screw with a flat
bladed screwdriver turning the screw counter-clockwise.
The set screw has a rubber “O” ring on the outer portion of
the screw, as a result the screw will rotate only 3-4
revolutions and not unscrew any farther.
Note
: If you drop
the low rate screw inside the valve area you can retrieve it
through the access door of the valve box.
Step 12:
Remove the low rate set screw using a small pair
of needle-nose pliers. Grab the outer edge of the screw
and pull outward.
Step 13:
Insert the correct new low rate screw from
Table 1 with the needle-nose pliers. Secure the new low
rate set screw (clockwise) with screwdriver until it is tight
and now longer spins.
CAUTION
: DO NOT REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE SMALL
SET SCREWS ON EACH SIDE OF THE V-WIRE. THESE
ARE PRESSURE TEST PORTS. IF THESE ARE
LOOSENED THEY MUST BE RE-TIGHTENED TO
ENSURE NO GAS LEAKS OCCUR.
Step 14:
Fill out the label “This fireplace has been
converted to LP gas” and affix it to the blank area on the
rating plate.
Step 15:
Ensure you test the burner pan after it is installed
into the fireplace for any gas leaks.
Step 16
: Conversion is now complete.
