FUEL CONVERSION
The DC Series modulating boiler / water heater is factory fire-tested to operate
with natural gas. The rating plate will be marked to indicate which fuel the
particular boiler / water heater has been set up with. Firing a boiler / water heater
with a fuel other than what is listed on the rating plate is prohibited unless the
following conversion procedure is completed by a qualified technician.
Refer to the preceeding section 3.3 - COMMISSIONING. The Low Fire (Zero
Offset) valve adjustment cap on the gas valve has been factory set.
This cap
must not be tampered with. The Zero-offset screw is not to be adjusted in
the field.
Fuel conversion requires hardware adjustments (Orifice Replacement) as well as
measurement and possible tuning of the gas :air mixture. Detailed instructions
including parts and labeling are found in Fuel Conversion kits:
Refer to Table 10
for the correct kit number.
