The boiler conversion must be done by a qualified installer or

service technician in accordance with these instructions and

must meet all local codes and requirements of the authority

having jurisdiction. The qualified installer or technician

performing this work assumes full responsibility for this

conversion.

It is important that you follow the conversion procedure in the

proper sequence. We have enclosed for your convenience

three conversion labels, one of which will be attached to the

inside of the boiler and one which will be placed near the

rating label on the outside of the boiler. One will not be used.

Note: Failure to do so will void your warranty.

STEP 1

Turn off all power to the unit. Shut the gas off with the

manual shutoff valve. Make sure that the gas supply is

connected. Check gas pressure and gas piping to assure

proper sizing to the boiler firing rate.

If connecting to LP gas, it is recommended that you

contact your gas supplier to size the piping and the tank.

It may also be necessary to install a 100% lockup gas

pressure regulator of sufficient capacity to supply an

adequate gas flow.

STEP 2 – PVC & CPVC ONLY

Drill and tap a 21/64" diameter, 1/8" NPT hole into

exhaust piping 1 foot from unit to be used as a test port

for the combustion analyzer. See Figure 2.

This conversion shall be done by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions

and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. A qualified service agency is

responsible for the proper installation of this kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the operation

of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the kit.
