Natural To Lp Gas Conversion - Mendota DXV-35 DEEP TIMBER II Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

This conversion must be made by a qualified service technician.
ORIFICE SIZES REQUIREMENT: When the DXV35 employs the rear vent option, the rear burner orifice
must be changed in an LPG configuration to a #61 Spud Orifice (supplied with the Fireplace). The front burner
orifice remains unchanged at #55 for LPG applications.
A Natural Gas to LPG conversion kit #HA-30-00325 must be purchased separately for the DXV35 Fireplace to
burn LPG.
LP Conversion Kit #HA-30-00325 contains the following parts: One LP Pressure Regulator, One LP Pilot Ori-
fice Thimble, One Cap Orifice drill #59 (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.

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
position. Secure the LP Pressure Regulator in place using the 3 screws you removed in Step 2. Tighten
down using a ¼" flat blade screwdriver.
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
