Step 5. On the left side of the burner, remove
the two securing screws. Remove the burner
assembly.
Step 6. Refer to Figure 64 and the instructions
provided with the SIT Regulator Conversion
Kit. Using a Torx T20 (with 1/4" shank and
center hole) or slotted screwdriver, remove and
discard the two (2) pressure regulator mount-
ing screws, pressure regulator tower, the
diaphragm assembly (A) (if applicable) and the
spring (B). Discard all removed components.
Ensure the rubber gasket (C), which is pre-
fitted as part of the assembly, is properly
positioned (see Figure 64).
Step 7. Install the new Stepper Motor pres-
sure regulator assembly using the supplied
screws as shown in Figure 64. Tighten screws
securely (reference torque = 25 lb. in.).
Step 8. Install the enclosed identification label
to the valve body where it can be easily seen.
Step 9. Make Stepper Motor and valve electri-
cal connections.
Step 10. See Figure 63 and replace the pilot
orifice. Remove the pilot hood assembly to
access the hexed pilot orifice. Remove and re-
place the orifice with the one provided with the

Step 11. Replace Burner Orifice
A. Remove the orifice from the manifold and
replace it with the one provided in the kit.
See Table 9 for orifice sizes for natural and
propane models. Figure 65 illustrates the ori-
fice. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape
on all pipe fittings before installing (ensure
propane resistant compounds are used in
propane applications, do not use pipe joint
compounds on flare fittings).
B. Retrieve the burner and hold the venturi tube
above the orifice. Place the shutter adjusting
rod in the slot of the shutter arm (see Figure 61
on Page 34). Set the burner assembly into its
position and secure the burner assembly with
the two screws previously removed.
