5. With the heater operating determine that the inlet pressure to the heater for
natural gas is between 5 and 13.5 inches w.c. and for propane between 10
and 13.5 inches w.c. Take this reading as close as possible to the heater
(Heaters are equipped with gas valves that have an inlet pressure tap.) If the
inlet pressure is not within the specified range, the inlet pressure must be
corrected and Steps 3 and 4 repeated.
6. Find the High Altitude Adjustment label, P/N 197062, in the plastic bag with
this installation manual. Using a permanent marker, fill-in the appropriate
information from the tables below. Select a location for the label on the outside
of the heater access panel so that it will be conspicuous to anyone operating
or servicing the unit. Be sure the surface is clean and dry and adhere the
label.
The input and/or the capacity of the heater changes with the derate. The tables
below list inputs and capacities at altitudes from sea level to 10,000 ft (3045M).

Find the propane conversion parts in the plastic bag with this installation manual.
Verify the components with the list below and follow the instructions to install.
* The Serial No. is on the unit
rating plate. The valve code “Z8”
is identified in the sample serial
number below:

1. Install the propane spring regulator kit in the gas valve. Follow the valve
manufacturer’s instructions that are included with the spring conversion kit.
2. Attach the propane disk near the gas valve.
3. Install the propane orifice. Refer to
FIGURE 28, page 37, and locate the gas
orifice. Carefully remove the natural gas orifice supplied on the heater. Install
the propane orifice.
