Propane Conversion - Pacific energy BROADWAY Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Before starting the conversion make sure to shut
off the gas supply to the unit and allow fireplace
to cool to room temperature.
To convert the gas fireplace insert from natural gas to
propane the (GASC.LPKIT) kit is required. This kit
comes with new pilot and burner orifices as well as a
new pressure modulator for the valve.
To switch the pressure modulator follow the
instructions that are provided with the conversion kit.
To change the orifices, remove the door, media set,
and burner. Please refer to the appropriate sections of
this manual and follow instructions on how to correctly
remove these components.
After removing the burner access the burner orifice
which is located on the bottom of the burner tray, as
seen in figure 29. The orifice can be removed using a
½" socket. Before installing the new orifice Loctite 567
Thread Sealant needs to be applied to the threads of
the new orifice to ensure a proper seal when installed.
To replace the pilot orifice, remove the pilot hood
which is held in place by a spring. First remove the
spring, and then remove the hood by pulling it up from
the pilot bracket, seen in figure 30. To remove the
existing orifice insert a 5/32" or 4mm Allen wrench
into the hexagonal key-way of the orifice and rotate
until free. Insert the new orifice using the same Allen
wrench and tighten it until a torque of 9 lbf in (1 Nm) is
achieved. Replace the pilot hood by aligning the tab
on the base of the hood with the slot in the side of the
pilot journal, and push the hood down, onto the pilot
bracket. Replace the spring by pushing it into its seat.
