on natural gas. They include a manual valve, two automatic
operators, and a pressure regulator. See Table 1 for tem-
perature ranges and regulator types.
VR8305 set up for natural gas includes a 393691 LP
Conversion Kit. The kit contains a cap screw, a pressure
regulator adjustment screw, a tapered spring and a conver-
sion label.
