ADC HB50 Installation & Operator's Manual page 16

Using a 3/8" wrench or socket, remove the existing orifice
and replace it with an orifice from the kit.
IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when removing and
replacing orifice (injector). This orifice (injector) is made of
brass, which is easily damaged.
Reinstall the burner tube onto the burner base.
Use a flat screwdriver to remove the regulator vent cap.
• For unregulated L.P. gas (most countries): install
blocking pin (ADC P/N 140414).
• For regulated L.P. gas (some countries): remove the
white plastic regulator adjustment screw (under vent
cap). Remove spring under screw and replace with
spring from kit (ADC P/N 140416). Replace regulator
adjustment screw.
Install the gas train back into the dryer gas train enclosure.
Be sure the tab at the rear of the gas train engages into the
mounting slot.
Connect the union and the 3 electrical plugs.
Affix L.P. Conversion Label (ADC P/N 114515) to the dryer's
data label.
Complete L.P. Kit Conversion Confirmation Label (ADC P/N
114083) and affix this label as close as possible to the dryer's
existing dryer rating (data) label/plate.
Non-CE Dryers
Affix L.P. Conversion Rating Label Addendum (ADC P/N
114090) as close as possible to the dryer's existing dryer
rating (data) label/plate.
CE Dryers
Affix new data plate label that came with the conversion kit.
Open all shutoff valves, reconnect electrical power to the
dryer, and test for leaks.
IMPORTANT: Never test for leaks with an open flame!!!
Use a soapy water solution or product intended for that
purpose.

Unregulated Gas Valve
Regulate (govern) gas externally (refer to "Supply Pressure"
in chart on page 14) to the correct gas pressure for the gas
being used. Operate dryer through 1 complete cycle to
ensure proper operation.
Regulated Gas Valve
Refer to "Gas Pressure Adjustment" on page 17 to adjust
the gas valve to the appropriate burner pressure listed on
page 14. The supply pressure must also match what is
listed on page 14 for the type of gas to be used.
IMPORTANT: Conversions done improperly can result in
a fire or explosion!
Conversion from Propane
or Butane Gas to Natural Gas
The following conversion allows the dryer to be operated with
natural gas.
Parts Required for Conversion:
Description
Vent Cap and Spring
Burner Orifice (Injector)
* Refer to page 14 for orifice (injector) size.
Instructions
Disconnect electrical power to the dryer.
Close all shutoff valves in dryer's gas supply line.
IMPORTANT: It is required that the following procedures
be performed on both burner assemblies.
Open the panel located just below the loading door.
Locate the gas train and disconnect the union, 3 electrical
plugs, and the gas train mounting screws from the burner.
Carefully slide the gas train out of the gas train enclosure.
(The carbon ignitor located at the far end of the gas train is
very fragile.)
Remove 2 burner tube mounting screws and remove burner
tube in order to gain access to the orifice.
Using a 3/8" wrench or socket, remove the existing orifice
and replace it with an orifice from the kit.
IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when removing and
replacing orifice (injector). This orifice (injector) is made of
brass, which is easily damaged.
Reinstall the burner tube onto the burner base.
Select from the following 3 options, the conversion to be
performed:
• Converting from unregulated L.P. to regulated
natural gas: use a flat screwdriver to remove the cap
with blocking pin and install the regulator vent cap from
the kit (ADC P/N 140415).
• Converting from unregulated L.P. to unregulated
natural gas: no change to the regulator is required.
