Gas conversions

The gas conversion procedure should
WARNING
be accomplished BEFORE the boiler is
installed. For a boiler already installed,
you must turn off gas supply, turn off
power, and allow the 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.
You must install the propane orifice to fire
the Knight wall mount boiler on propane.
Verify when installing that the orifice size
marking matches boiler size (Table 2A).
Failure to comply could result in severe
personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
