pressure reads 3.5 inches water column (0.87
kPa) for natural gas, and 10.0 inches water
column (2.49 kPa) for propane gas.
Step 6. Refer to Figure 25 and remove the
pilot hood assembly to access the hexed pilot
orifice. Remove and replace the orifice with
the one provided with the kit.

Step 7. Honeywell Electronic Valves - See
Figure 27 and the instructions provided with
the kit. Remove the slotted cap screw, o-ring,
pressure-regulating adjusting screw and
spring. Retain all parts for possible later use.
Install new components from the kit. Black
cap and red spring for propane gas units.
Silver cap and stainless steel spring fro natural
gas units.
Before installing the cap, attach manometer to
the manifold side pressure test fitting and
adjust screw until pressure reads 3.5 inches
water column (0.87 kPa) for natural gas, and
10.0 inches water column (2.49 kPa) for pro-
pane gas.

Step 9. Reassemble all removed components
by reversing the procedures outlined in the
preceding steps. 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). Check for leaks
(refer to Page 17, Step 6).
Step 10. Attach apropriate conversion kit
label (see Figure 29 ) next to the rating plate
