LPG FUEL
Note! It is strongly recommended that, on LPG installations, gas detection equipment is fitted. This
equipment should be positioned near the appliance and at low level. It is also important that the space
housing the appliance is adequately ventilated at high and low level. This appliance must not be located
below ground e.g. in a cellar.
Conversion from Natural gas to LPG or vice versa must only be carried out by a suitable qualified person
following the procedures outlined within this chapter. Any seals which are broken as part of the adjustments
required must be sealed again after completing all works.

CONVERSION TO LPG
This process must be carried out in the order stated before the water heater is switched on. Failure to follow the
following procedure may lead to non-warrantable damage to the water heater. The conversion MUST be carried out
by a competent person certified for work on LPG fuel.
In the event of any seal or gasket being broken it is essential that the seal or gasket be replaced. Contact Lochinvar
limited for replacement seals and gaskets.
Due to the gas/air ratio design of the water heater, the conversion to LPG involves inserting an orifice plate into the gas valve to reduce the gas
flow.
