Natural To Lp Gas Conversion - Mendota DXV-60 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

This conversion must be made by a qualified service technician.
A Natural Gas to LPG conversion kit #HA-40-00127 can be purchased separately for the DXV60 Fireplace.
This conversion kit is available through your local Mendota Dealer.
LP Conversion Kit #HA-40-00127 contains the following parts: One LP Pressure Regulator, One LP Pilot Ori-
fice Thimble, One Cap Orifice drill #48 (for rear burner) and One Cap Orifice drill #55 (for front burner). Spe-
cifically, identify the Rear and Front Burner Cap Orifices. Use proper sized drill bits' shaft ends to verify
orifice sizes.
WARNING: IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THE CORRECT BURNER ORIFICE BE
INSTALLED FOR BOTH THE REAR AND FRONT BURNERS.
1. Turn off gas supply at the appliance service valve. Identify the Pressure Regulator on the Valve Body, see
Figure 11
on PAGE 38.
2. Using a ¼" flat blad screwdriver, remove 3 screws that secure the NG Pressure Regulator to the gas valve
body and remove NG Pressure Regulaor as shown on PAGE 38. Identify the pressure regulator spring that
is located in the center of the black rubber gasket. Discard both the black rubber gasket and spring.
3. Install the new LP Pressure Regular onto the gas valve body in the same position and orientation as the NG
Pressure Regulator you removed in Step 2, above. The LP Pressure Regulator can only be mounted in one
positon. Secure the LP Pressure Regulator in place using the 3 screws you removed in Step 2. Tighten
down using a ¼" flat blade screw driver.
4. Remove both Rear and Front Burners. Locate and Identify the Rear Burner Orifice Spud and the Front
Burner Orifice Spud. Both Front and Rear Orifice Spuds are removed and installed using a ½" deep well
socket and ratchet.
5. Install Rear Burner Orifice #HA-39-00151 (#48 drill) for the Rear Burner. Tighten down securely.
6. Install Front Burner Orifice #HA-39-00152 (#55 drill) for the Front Burner. Tighten down securely.
7. Install pilot orifice thimble #05-04-00036 (.014") see
Figure 9 for location. Remove and install pilot hood
with 7/16" open-end wrench. (pilot orifice thimble is lo-
cated inside pilot hood base).
8. Air Shutter Adjustments:
Rear Burner Flame
made using the Air Shutter Control Knob located on the
Control Panel. Normally, for LPG application, pull the
Air Shutter control Knob outward ½ inches. Depending
on venting configuration, the Air Shutter Knob may
need to be pulled further outward to provide more pri-
mary air.
Front Burner Flame: Air shutter adjustment must be
made before installing the front burner inside the firebox. Locate the rotary shutter and the set screw. Us-
ing a Phillips Screw Driver, loosen the set screw and rotate the air shutter open 1/8 inches. Further adjust-
ment to this shutter opening may be necessary depending on the venting configuration and the flame color
and glow effect desired.
NOTE: IF SOOT DEPOSITS LARGER THAN 1/2 INCHES DIAMETER ARE OBSERVED ON ANY
OF THE LOGS, THE FRONT AND/OR REAR AIR SHUTTER OPENINGS MUST BE ENLARGED.
