conversions.
Installation of “LP” Spuds
Apply masking tape at the end of a 7 mm nut driver to
help hold the gas orifice spud in the nut driver while
changing it. Press nut driver down onto the gas orifice
spud and remove by turning it counterclockwise and
lifting out, set gas orifice spud aside.
Gas orifice spuds are stamped with a number on the side.
