Gas conversions

For a boiler already installed, you must
⚠WARNING
turn off gas supply, turn off power and
allow boiler to cool before proceeding.
You must also completely test the boiler after conversion to
verify performance as described under Start-up, Section 10
of this manual.
Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury,
death, or substantial property damage.
You must install a propane venturi to operate the Noble Fire
Tube on propane gas. Verify when installing that the venturi
label marking matches the boiler size. Refer to the Replacement
Parts List for the appropriate LP Conversion Kit applicable to
your unit's size and serial number.
1. If boiler is already installed, you must turn off the gas
supply, turn off the power, and allow the boiler to cool
before proceeding.
2. Remove the front access cover from the unit (no tools
required for removal).
3. Using a 5/16" nut driver, loosen the rachet clamp securing
the air intake fitting to the venturi assembly. Slide the
rubber boot off the venturi.
4. Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the union between the
gas valve adapter and the venturi assembly. Remove the
gasket between the gas piping and venturi (FIG. 2-2).
5. Using a 3 mm Allen wrench, remove the three (3) screws
securing the venturi to the fan assembly and proceed to
remove the natural gas venturi from the unit, making sure
not to damage the blower O-ring gasket (FIG. 2-2).
6. Install the air shutter.
a. Disconnect the wiring from the fan and remove the
bolts securing the fan to the heat exchanger top plate.
b. Remove the fan and gasket, and install the air shutter
provided in the kit. Note: On NKC/NCF110 models, the
air shutter MUST be installed in the proper direction.
Install the air shutter so that the hole in the corner is
oriented towards the back right corner of the unit
(opposite the front door and gas piping).
c. Replace all torn or damaged gaskets. Reassemble the
fan assembly and reconnect the wiring harnesses
before operation.
7. Install the propane venturi and verify the following:
a. The UP arrow on the plastic housing is pointing
upward.
b. The threaded connection for the gas piping is facing
towards the LEFT of the unit.
8. Reassemble the unit by following the previous steps in
reverse order, taking care to ensure that the venturi adapter
gasket is seated properly before tightening the nut on the
venturi. NOTE: Replace any torn or damaged gasket(s) that
may have been damaged or torn during installation.
9. After installation is complete, fill out the gas conversion
label (in the conversion kit bag) and affix it to the unit to the
right of the control display as shown in FIG. 2-3.
10. Replace the front access cover removed in Step 2 and
resume operation.
When removing the natural gas venturi,
⚠ DANGER
inspect the gasket at the gas connection
and the O-ring at the blower. These gaskets must be in good
condition and must be installed. Failure to comply will cause a
gas leak, resulting in severe personal injury or death.
