Gas Conversion Field Assembly Kit

Natural Gas to Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) or

Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) Gas to Natural

Only for use with Slant/Fin boilers equipped with Honeywell VR8200, VR8204, VR8300 and

VR8304 gas valves, either standing (continuous burning) pilots or intermittent ignition

systems.

WARNING

This conversion kit shall be installed by a

qualified service agency in accordance with

the manufacturer’s instructions and all

applicable codes and requirements of the

authority having jurisdiction. If the informa-

tion in these instructions is not followed

exactly, a fire, an explosion or production of

carbon monoxide may result causing prop-

erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.

The 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.

WARNING-IMPORTANT

1. This conversion kit is supplied with the

same parts normally provided on

SLANT/FIN factory built boilers which are

Design Certified by CSA International.

However, because we have no way of

applying our own quality control procedures

to field alterations made by others on this

boiler, these alterations are not the respon-

sibility of SLANT/FIN. These alterations are

the responsibility of the installer of this con-

version kit. The instructions below must be

carefully followed in order to duplicate

factory installation.

2. The installation must conform to the require-

ments of the authority having jurisdiction or,

in the absence of such requirements, to the

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223. 1-lat-

est edition.

The boiler warranty is v

oid unless this field assembly conversion kit has been properly installed,

labels completed and applied to boiler and registration card completed and received

by Slant/Fin within 10 days after kit has been installed in boiler.

WARNING

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) PROPANE GAS-

FIRED BOILER LOCATION

REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION

Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier

than air. Therefore, propane boilers, piping, valves

must NOT be installed in locations where propane

leaking from defective equipment and piping will

"pool" in a basement or other space below the leak.

A spark or flame from the boiler or other source

may ignite the accumulated propane gas causing

an explosion or fire. Provide a level, solid founda-

tion for the boiler. Location should be as near the

chimne

y as possible so that the flue pipe from boil-

er to chimney is short and direct.

THE UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE may be in

effect in your geographic area.

The following precautions are cited by the 1994

UNIFORM MECHANICAL CODE, section 304.6:

LPG Appliances. Liquefied petroleum gas-

burning appliances shall not be installed in a pit,

basement or similar location where heavier-

than-air gas might collect. Appliances so fueled

shall not be installed in an abo

ve-grade under-

floor space or basement unless such location is

provided with an approved means for removal of

unburned gas."

Consult Chapter 5 of the 1994 UNIFORM

MECHANICAL CODE for design criteria of the

"approved" means for removal of unburned gas.
