ADAPTING THE WATER HEATER TO DIFFERENT GAS TYPES (CONVERSION KIT
INSTRUCTIONS)
A qualified service agency is any individual, firm, corporation or company which either in
person or through a representative is engaged in and is responsible for the connection,
utilization, repair or servicing of gas utilization equipment or accessories; who is
experienced in such work, familiar with all precautions required, and has complied with
all the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
IN CANADA THE CONVERSION SHALL BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CAN-B149.1, NATURAL GAS AND
PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE.
The heater delivered by the manufacturer is designed for the gas shown on the rating
plate (Natural Gas or Propane). Check the rating plate on the side of the front cover to
be sure that the heater is designed for the specific gas to which it will be connected. If
gas conversion is required, determine to what type of gas the heater must be converted.
Turn off the gas supply before converting the appliance and leak test the converted
water heater prior to placing it into operation. To leak test all joints and replaced parts
apply some soapy water to the replaced joints and parts. Look for soap bubbles which
are a sign of a leak. Never test for gas leaks using a match or flame. A standard gas
detector can also be used to test for leaks instead of using soapy water. The manifold
pressure after the conversion shall be as outlined in the gas pressure table in the
installation instructions. Instructions on how to measure and adjust the manifold
pressure can be found in the Making Adjustments Section of the installation instructions
manual.
Please follow the minimum and maximum inlet gas pressure as outlined in the gas
pressure table in the installation instructions. To check the inlet pressure the qualified
service agency doing the conversion shall check the inlet gas pressure in the inlet gas
line after it exits the gas pressure regulator just before it enters the heater. The qualified
service agency shall use whatever gas pressure measuring instrument they commonly
use to test gas pressure.
WARNING
: This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency
in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and all applicable codes and
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. The information in these
instructions must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to
prevent property damage, personal injury or death. The qualified service agency
is responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper
and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as
specified in the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the kit.
