Ensure that the rubber gasket (D) is properly positioned
and install the new HI/LO pressure regulator assembly to
the valve using the new screws (E) supplied with the kit.
Tighten screws securely. (Reference torque = 25 in./lb.)
Install the enclosed identifi cation label (F) to the valve
body where it can be seen.
Fill out the conversion label and attach it to the valve
cover.

WARNING
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
•
If the information in these instructions is
not followed exactly, a fi re, explosion or
production of carbon monoxide may result
causing property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.
• The qualifi ed service agency is responsible
for the proper installation of this conversion
kit. The installation is not proper and complete
until the operation of the converted appliance
is checked as specifi ed in the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with the kit.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
Gas Leak Risk.
• Rubber gasket must be seated properly on
valve face.
• Do no install a valve or regulator that has
been dropped.
If the pressure is not suffi cient, ensure:
• The piping used is large enough.
• The supply regulator is adequately adjusted.
• That the total gas load for the residence does not
exceed the amount supplied.
The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly
to the residence inlet or to the propane tank) should supply
gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact
the local gas supplier if the regulator is at an improper
pressure.
D. Gas Pressures
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appli-
ance performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to
be made following NFPA54.
Fire Risk.
Explosion Hazard.
High pressure will damage valve.
• Disconnect gas supply piping BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
above 1/2 psig.
• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE
pressure testing gas line at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
Verify inlet pressures.
• High pressure may cause overfi re condition.
• Low pressure may cause explosion.
• Verify minimum pressures when other
household gas appliances are operating.
Install regulator upstream of valve if line
pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in the
table below. Minimum pressures must be met when other
household gas appliances are operating.
