6.0 CONVERTING BETWEEN NATURAL AND PROPANE GAS
WARNING: Fire or explosion hazard can cause property damage,
severe injury, or death.
1. Do not attempt to use a gas control set for natural gas on
propane gas or gas control set for LP gas on natural gas.
2. When making conversion, main and pilot burner orifices MUST
be changed to meet appliance manufacturer’s specifications.
Standard- or slow-opening gas controls may be converted from one gas to another. To convert
from natural gas to LP use the 393691 LP Conversion Kit that is included with the VR8304M
Gas Control. To convert from LP to natural gas use the 394588 Natural Gas Conversion Kit
(order separately). Step-opening gas controls cannot be converted.
To convert control from one gas to another:
S Turn off main gas supply to the appliance.
S Remove the regulator cap screw and pressure regulator adjusting screw. See Figure 1.
S Remove the existing spring.
S Insert the replacement spring with tapered end down. See Figure 2.
S Install the new plastic pressure regulator adjustment screw so that the top of the screw is
flush (level) with the top of the regulator. Turn the pressure regulator adjustment screw
clockwise six complete turns. This provides a preliminary pressure setting of about 10.0
inch W.C. (2.5 kPa) for LP regulator and 3.5 inch W.C. (0.9 kPa) for natural gas regulator.
S Check the regulator setting either with a manometer or by clocking the gas meter.
S Install the new cap screw.
S Mount conversion label on control.
S Install control and appliance according to appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
