Convert to Another Gas Type
The conversion process (orifice change-out) is the same for each gas. Whatever gas your grill is set for, it is
supplied with a conversion kit (Figure 39 left) to allow changeover to the other fuel type. The customer is
required to provide the LP gas inlet or NG regulator (4” water column, 1/2" ports).
Figure 39 Gas Conversion Kit

Use a shallow socket to ensure enough threads are exposed to get it started (Figure 39 right)
