B. LP CONVERSION
Convert the unit to use liquefied petroleum (LP) gas by replacing with the gas valve sup-
plied in the conversion kit. The LP gas valve maintains the proper manifold pressure for LP
gas. The correct burner LP orifices are included in the kit.
IMPORTANT: To remove the natural gas valve, remove the four screws securing the mani-
fold pipe to the burner tray. Remove the manifold pipe with gas valve attached.
NOTE: Order the correct LP conversion kit from the furnace manufacturer. See
Conversion Kit Index shipped with unit for proper LP kit number. Furnace conver-
sion to LP gas must be performed by a qualified technician.
C. ADJUSTING OR CHECKING FURNACE INPUT
– Natural Gas Line Pressure 5” - 10.5” W.C.
– LP Gas Line Pressure 11” - 13” W.C.
– Natural Gas Manifold Pressure 3.5” W.C
– LP Gas Manifold Pressure - 10” W.C.
Supply and manifold pressure taps are located on the gas valve body 1/8” N.P.T. and on
the manifold.
Use a properly calibrated manometer gauge for accurate gas pressure readings.
Only small variations in the gas flow should be made by means of the pressure regulator
adjustment. Furnaces functioning on LP gas must be set by means of the tank or branch
supply regulators. The furnace manifold pressure should be set at 10” W.C. at the gas con-
trol valve.

WARNING
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED AT THE FACTORY FOR USE ON NATURAL GAS ONLY.
CONVERSION TO LP GAS REQUIRES A SPECIAL KIT SUPPLIED BY THE DIS-
TRIBUTOR OR MANUFACTURER. MAILING ADDRESSES ARE LISTED ON THE
FURNACE RATING PLATE, PARTS LIST AND WARRANTY. FAILURE TO USE
THE PROPER CONVERSION KIT CAN CAUSE FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE POI-
SONING, EXPLOSION, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR DEATH.
