WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH
Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Disconnect power supply before wiring to pre-
vent electrical shock or equipment damage.
2. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas,
turn off gas supply at the appliance service valve
before starting installation, and perform Gas
Leak Test after completion of installation.
3. Always install sediment trap in gas supply line to
prevent contamination of gas control.
4. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only your
hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use any
tools. If the gas control knob will not operate by
hand, the gas control should be replaced by a
qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in fire or explosion.
CAUTION
Never apply a jumper across or short the valve coil
terminals. This could burn out the heat anticipator in
the thermostat or damage the electronic direct igni-
tion (DI) module.
IMPORTANT: These gas controls are shipped with protec-
tive seals over inlet and outlet tappings. Do not remove
seals until ready to connect piping.
Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions if avail-
able; otherwise, use the instructions provided below.
CONVERTING BETWEEN NATURAL AND LP GAS
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH
1. Do not use a gas control set for natural gas on LP
gas or a gas control set for LP gas on natural gas.
2. When making conversion, main and pilot burner
orifices MUST be changed to meet appliance
manufacturer specifications.
Standard-opening or slow-opening gas controls are con-
verted from one gas to another with a conversion kit. To
convert from natural gas to LP, use the 393691 LP Conver-
sion Kit that is included with the VR8305 Gas Control. To
convert from LP to natural gas, use the 394588 Natural Gas
Conversion Kit (order separately). Step-opening gas controls
cannot be converted.
To convert control from one gas to another:
1. Turn off main gas supply to the appliance.
2. Remove the regulator cap screw and pressure regulator
adjusting screw. See Fig. 2.

3. Remove the existing spring.
4. Insert the replacement spring with tapered end down.
See Fig. 3.
5. Install the new plastic pressure regulator adjustment
screw so that the top of the screw is flush (level) with the top
of the regulator. Turn the pressure regulator adjustment screw
clockwise
six complete turns. This provides a prelimi-
nary pressure setting of about 10.0 in. wc [2.5 kPa] for LP
regulator and 3.5 in. wc [0.9 kPa] for natural gas regulator.
