These instructions are for the conversion of the Phoenix Light Duty Water Heater. DO NOT use this kit to convert any
other water heater.
STEP 1: PREPARATION
Turn off all electrical power to the heater. Shut off the gas with the manual shutoff before beginning the conversion.
Ensure that you are properly connected to the gas supply. Check the gas piping and pressure to assure proper sizing for
the heater firing rate. It is recommended that you contact your gas supplier to verify correct gas piping size and proper
connection. It may also be necessary to install a 100% lockup gas pressure regulator of sufficient size to supply the
correct pressure and gas flow.
Ensure electrical power to the water heater is turned OFF before continuing with the conversion. Failure to do so could
result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Wait for water heater to cool before proceeding with the conversion. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury
or death.
