7.0 INSTALLING GAS PIPING
Trinity Tft boilers are factory set to operate with Natural Gas;
BEFORE OPERATING
WITH PROPANE
, the boiler must be converted using the appropriate
Natural to LP
Conversion Kit
; see Table 7-1. Failure to properly convert the unit to safely operate with
Propane will cause dangerous burner operation, resulting in property damage, serious
injury or death.
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air. Do not install the boiler in a pit
or similar location that will permit heavier than air gas to collect. Check with Local
Codes as they may require boilers fueled with LP gas to be provided with an approved
means of removing unburned gases from the room. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in serious injury or death
